Desperate Ain't Lonely
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.
I try not to drink.
Cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
You know I've been had.
Pockets are empty
In the daytime, I'm lonesome
In the nighttime, I'm sad.
The letter I wrote
Took words from my throat I was saving
It lay on a roadside
Guess the mailman was drunk
The message was urgent
Now it lays in a state where you don't live no more
So I try not to drink
Cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Cause desperate ain't lonely
You know I've been had
Pockets are empty
In the daytime, I'm lonesome
In the nighttime, I'm sad
