Flatland Cavalry Lonely Then Lyrics

[Intro]
(One, two, three)

[Verse 1]
She don't ever look me in the eye when I tell her that I love her
Like a fool, I play it cool in the shade she keeps throwing me under
'Cause I thought love was supposed to feel like a fairy tale
But some days I wonder if I was better off myself

[Chorus]
I was lonely then, you should see me now
Found me someone, but I still feel alone somehow
Dying to leave and my heart bleeds
For you to come around
I was lonely then, you should see me now
[Verse 2]
We weren't fooling anybody baby, didn't make it through our first snow
Idle hearts, well they don't keep warm when the cold wind starts to blow
'Cause I thought I'd be better off all by myself
But I ain't sleeping, barely breathing in my living hell [Chorus]
I was lonely then, you should see me now
Caught in a hole and I can't find my way out
Taking on water as I try not to drown
I was lonely then, you should see me now, oh-whoa

[Bridge]
We're a dirty needle on a broken record
Everybody's ears, they were bound to bleed
But this new song I'm singing ain't a lonesome melody
I was lonely then, you should see me now
Found me someone and she loves me inside out
I had no idea love could be this loud
I was lonely then, you should see me now, oh-whoa

[Outro]
I was lonely then, you should see me now
(You should see me now)
I was lonely then, you should see me now
I was lonely then, you should see me now
(You should see me now)
I was lonely then, you should see me now
