Lyrics

Livin' Alone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The last time I saw you

I saw the writing on the wall

I didn’t like it

I didn’t like it at all

I look at my telephone

I let it ring and ring

I do the crying

Let the wire do the singing

I'm not living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartbreak here

I'm not living alone

You know I got a heartache with me

I'm not living alone, living alone

You know I’ve got a heartbreak here

Just one more secret, just one more lie

I don’t believe you, so don’t you even try

You’ve been out all night, you say you’ve been bored

I know you too well, not to know when you’ve scored

I'm not living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartbreak here

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heart aching pain

Not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartbreak again

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I'm not living alone, living alone

I know I’ve got a heartbreak with me

I'm not living alone, living alone

I got a heartache, heartache

Not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartbreak here

I know my woman like the back of my hand

I know for sure, when she’s taken another man

I'm going to cut my losses, going to walk through that door

I can’t get her attention; I don’t love her any more

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartbreak here

I'm not living alone, living alone

Got a heart aching pain

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm Living with a heartache

I'm not living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I'm not living alone

Living with a heartbreaker

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I'm not living alone, living alone

I'm living with a heartache

I tell you living alone, living alone

Living with a heartbreaker

I'm not living alone, living alone

Living with a heart aching here
