If I fall in love with all my problems, will they leave me too?

Well maybe I believed in all your lies, 'cause I believed in you

...

Why were you somewhere else when you were next to me?

I know, you know, it keeps me up

Did you think about her face with your hands around my waist?

Did you even give a ****?

...

You can't spell lonesome without me, mmm, mmm, mmm

And there's no hope in misery, mmm, mmm, mmm

I can't escape your history, oh

You can't spell lonesome without me, you just can't

...

Tell me I was more than just a decent opportunity

Or will you tell me anything I wanna hear to control how you're perceived?

...

Why were you somewhere else when you were next to me?

I know, you know, it keeps me up

Isn't it kind of strange how it all changed when

I wasn't the one they wanted you to love

...

You can't spell lonesome without me, mmm, mmm, mmm

And there's no hope in misery, mmm, mmm, mmm

I can't escape your history, oh

You can't spell lonesome without me, you just can't
