A House In Nebraska

Labored breaths and bed sores
Sing it to me all day long
When the aching sound of silence
Used to be our favorite song
You and me against the world
You were my man and I your girl
We had nothing except each other
You were my whole world
But then the day came
And you were up and gone
And I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
Where the world was empty
Save you and I
Where you came and I laughed and you left and I cried
Where you told me even if we died tonight that I'd die yours
These dirt roads are empty
The ones we paved ourselves
Your mama calls me sometimes
To see if I'm doing well
And I lie to her
And say that I'm doing fine
When really I'd kill myself
To hold you one more time
And it hurts to miss you
But it's worse to know
That I'm the reason
You won't come home
But I still call home that house in Nebraska
Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor
Where the world was empty
Save you and I
Where you came and I laughed and you left and I cried
Where you told me even if we died tonight that I'd die yours

You know I still wait at the edge of town
Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around
I cry every day and the bottles make it worse
'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt
And I found photographs of our school on the day we met
I thought that you were so beautiful it was love I guess
And you might never come back home and I may never sleep at night
But God I just hope you're doing fine out there
I just pray that you're all right
And I feel so alone
And I feel so alone out here
I feel so alone
And I feel so alone out here
And I feel so alone without you
I'm so alone out here
I feel so alone I feel so alone
I'm so alone out here without you baby
