These separating lines are fading
And I've come to see the things I've done
Have proved I'm selfish, I may be hopeless
Oh, I'm a lost cause
I must be kin to the desperate feeling I'm caught up in
And I've got an uncanny ability to feel lonesome
Anytime, anyplace, with anyone
But then you call my name aloud
I'm lost and don't want to be found
I don't want to be loved tonight
Oh, I've found love at the bottom of the bottle at a local bar
And I've seen the sadness in the bottom of the glass
But that lonesome heartache is better than a heart break
And this too shall pass
Then the whiskey calls my name aloud
I'm lost and don't want to be found
I don't want to be loved tonight
