Lonesome Rhodes

[Intro]
If whiskey don't get us, then women must
And it looks like I'm never gonna cease my wondering
Alright now
I know you probably won't even understand this
But I gotta say it anyways
So
So, check this out

[Verse 1: Acumental]
I'm just a face in the crowd on some lonesome roads
Takin' my sound from coast to coast until I break down (Break down)
'Cause without the one I love around
I been feeling kinda troubled now, it's true
I used to lock eyes with my girl thinking, "She's so dreamy"
Thought life was always gonna be so easy
Naively, indeed (Yep)
Considering I wound up at the window shouting "Please don't leave me" (Don't leave me)
My life is kinda like a movie
But I can't rewind back to that night in the jacuzzi
Now I feel about as empty as this bottle in my hand
'Cause I've been drinking since you left me and you got another man
Damn
I'm sorry for any wrongs I did you
And I hope this ain't one of them songs you skip through
'Cause I miss you, and mean it sincerely
Listen, girl, I need you to hear me
I've been feeling beaten and battered
From seein' you gather your things
And leavin' after I presented my affection
I love you more than words can wield the matter
I'm not sure you're feeling flattered
But that isn't the intent of my confession
I guess I just feel the need to bear my soul
And at the same time I think you have the right to know
I'm so hung up on you, and it's plain to see
But still every time I call, you hang up on me

[Interlude: Acumental]
Hey
So I guess we're playing the, uh, "let it ring once and send me straight to voicemail" game now, huh?
Can you just call me back?
I don't, I don't understand why we can't talk about this

[Verse 2: Terminal Knowledge]
Roses are red, and violets are blue
Can't blink looking at you, it's like my eyelids are glued
Falling for a girl cold as winter
The spring in her step, and her summer's groove
She can dig it like a shovel do
These butterflies ain't got a clue
What they putting my stomach through
If one's the loneliest number, let's make the number two
I can't escape your hold like the glow that a candle makes
Thighs flow like two sticks of Land o' Lakes
The handle breaks and we're locked in the room
You and I make a mess like a mop and a broom
Baby, please, just stay with me and maybe we can watch a flick
You're the star, sparkling to say the least
I'm the blazin' trees nitwit who let her slip away
And she left me with a taste of that Maybelline lipstick
Now, maybe I'm tripping, but I love you more than life itself
In my mind, doing laps on some Michael Phelps
Differences attract, synonyms to antonyms
Gone are the days of intimate companionship
It's the equivalent of passages from literary manuscripts
Not a love song about my impotent abandonments
Disguised as a lucrative deal
Blindsided, left with wounds only her beauty could heal
And I ain't never seen a (Sky) look as blue as I feel
In hindsight, we're never wise until the truth is revealed
No matter how many times my head tells me I don't miss you
I know my heart and my lips do
And it's too difficult to comprehend
That this is how it ends after all that we've been through
'Cause when you left you took a part of me with you
I don't know how to fill that space
It's still your face
I think about every morning when I wake
Every hour of the day and right before I hit the hay
Even though my head tells me I don't miss you (I don't miss you)
My heart and my lips do
It's too difficult to comprehend
That this is how it ends after all that we've been through
'Cause when you left you took a part of me with you
I don't know how to fill that space
It's still your face
I think about every morning when I wake
Every hour of the day and right before I hit the hay

[Outro: Acumental]
Damn
How'd I let you slip away?
Eating and sleeping just got a whole lot harder, you know that?
Shit
