Lyrics
I'm feeling kind of lonely tonight
I'm feeling kind of mortal tonight
Can't seem to make this feel all right
I'm feeling kind of lonely tonight
It's a bitter pill to swallow
And it's twisting me inside
Told myself I'd be okay
Looks like I lied
Looks like I lied
Looks like I lied
I think I'll sit right here
I think I'll have another beer
See if I can drown away my fear
I think I'll sit right here
CHORUS
I'm just waiting on the dawn
Then I'll be moving on
I'll get used to you being gone
I'm just waiting on the dawn
CHORUS
Everybody listens but nobody hears
Their mouths are full of empty words
Straight from the book of proverbs
Like anybody can understand
This perverse promised land
It ain't all it's cracked up to be
It ain't all it's cracked up to be
CHORUS
