about

I originally wrote this song many years ago when my has-beened unilaterally decided to move to another state without me. I tend to sing out my heartbreak to get through it and was singing this around the house one day when he asked, "Is that a real song?" "Well, I'm singing it, so, yeah?" "No I mean is that a real song on the radio." I had to admit that it was not, since it was something I'd just written. But thanks to internet radio, it is now, buster! ;P

This version finally adds the guitar part that I originally envisioned (ensoundened?) when writing it.

lyrics

Sad and alone
When are you coming home?
It's so empty before you leave
Sad and depressed
Didn't pass the test
Seems like all I do now is grieve

Oh my world's upside down
Cause you're leavin' town
All I have is a frown
And a live country song
I started with nothing
Thought we had something
Now I've lost everything
And it's all so wrong

Sad and alone
When are you coming home?
It's so empty before you leave
Sad and depressed
Didn't pass the test
Seems like all I do now is grieve

Oh I'm torn up inside
With nowhere to hide
Feels like part of me died
When you walked out that door
I started with nothing
Thought we had something
But now I've lost everything
And I want more

Sad and alone
When are you coming home?
It's so empty before you leave
Sad and depressed
Didn't pass the test
Seems like all I do now is grieve

Now I'm in my own hell
As far as I can tell
Nothing can break the spell
Since you've been gone
I started with nothing
Thought we had something
But now I've lost everything
Except for this song

Sad and alone
When are you coming home?
It's so empty before you leave
Sad and depressed
Didn't pass the test
Seems like all I do now is grieve

Now I'm lookin for work
Feels like you're such a jerk
Leavin me in the lurch
As you chase your career
I started with nothing
Thought we had something
But now I've lost everything
Except for my fear

Sad and alone
When are you coming home?
It's so empty before you leave
Sad and depressed
Didn't pass the test
Seems like all I do now is grieve

Don't know what I should do
Gave it all up for you
The higher salary too
Thought that you were worth more
I started with nothing
Thought we had something
But now I've lost everything
Plus the one I adore

Sad and alone
When are you coming home?
It's so empty before you leave
Sad and depressed
Didn't pass the test
Seems like all that I do now is grieve
Seems like all I do is grieve
Seems like all that I do is grieve
