Right To Say I'm Lonesome

My soul has no being that I can feel
And my heart is empty from the love you did steal
Oh life has no meaning since love has gone
How I've prayed for your passions to forgive my wrongs
But I don't have the right to say I'm lonesome
If I treated you right I'd say I'm lonesome
La-la-lonesome hm-hm lonesome

The fault is with me for your love I betrayed
I should have been honest not told you lies to make you stay
You stayed as long as you could stay
But my deception finally gave me away
But I don't have the right to say I'm lonesome
If I treated you right I'd say I'm lonesome
La-la-lonesome hm-hm lonesome

If I had the courage to beg you back again
I'm sure that we'd make it with time scars will mend
But I don't have the right to say I'm lonesome
If I treated you right I'd say I'm lonesome
La-la-lonesome hm-hm lonesome
