You left your ring on the night stand by that old iron bed we bought
You left your lipstick stain on your coffee cup
There's not a night goes by I don't read that note you left
The one that said there's more to lovin' me than what happens in this bed
Now I know you tried to tell me in a hundred different ways
But the silence of this lonely room is all you need to say
(Chorus)
I get it now
Now that I’m in your shoes
It hurts to want someone
When they're not there for you
Whiskey and tears
Oh the bitter taste of truth
All alone in a big old empty house
No, I didn't get it then
But I sure do get it now
I still punch in at 6 a.m. I punch back out at 4
I told my boss to keep his overtime I don't want it no more
I used think if I worked hard enough you’d have everything you need
How many night's did you cry yourself to sleep just needin’ me?
I lie awake with your pillow held tight to my chest
That's as close to you right now as I can get
(Repeat Chorus)
Word gets around in this little town pretty fast
That's why I'm telling everybody just how bad I want you back
(Repeat Chorus)
