about

The depravity of being alone, without love and groping for contentment through the bottle, flings, and fun. The brokenness of yesterday sung from the other side, remembering the old days.

lyrics

You could find her nearly every night down
Where every seeker in the town was there
When she’d enter in the bar with no,
Driving 30 miles in the snow forget some

The cost of living keeps you careless
So you go wherever the hell you want to
Oblivion can be the sweetest song
No man’s affection never lasted long enough, no

CHORUS
You used to live alone before I knew you
I used to live alone too

VERSE 2
But no one ever really cared to know you
So you just do your best to stage a show,
Until the alcohol begins to slur you
No man would ever be allowed to hurt you now

But that was just the way that we survived,
‘till I hit you baby from the side,
I reached across your drink to learn your name,
You didn’t seem to want to do the same
Now did you

CHORUS (x2)
You used to live alone before I knew you
I used to live alone too

You were so high up on the planet then,
’m convinced you must have felt it spin,
I blew into town detached and free,
As lonely as a broken man could be, remember

CHORUS
You used to live alone before I knew you
I used to live alone too

OUTRO
You could find her nearly every night down
Where every seeker in the town was there
When she’d enter in the bar with no,
Driving 30 miles in the snow forget some

The cost of living keeps you careless
So you go wherever the hell you want to
Oblivion can be the sweetest song
No man’s affection never lasted long enough, no
