I hear the silence of an empty room
But no one else around
I'm so confused
I can't stand myself
While I'm wonderin' who I am
No one really knows me
I don't even know myself
Feel just like an unread book
That's been placed up on the shelf
I don't wanna die alone and mad
Without a love I never found
I just want someone to read this book
Before they lay me in the ground
When Jesus comes a callin'
And the angels take my hand
I hope I'm never known in Heaven
As the soul of a lonely man
Should've seen it comin'
Things that led me
To where I am
Spent half my life with someone
Who never really gave a damn
And I can't remember one time
That she stood by my side
Nothin's ever good enough
She took away all my pride
Gonna get myself together
Gonna turn my life around
'Cause I'm here to tell you silence
Well that's a mighty lonely sound
I don't wanna die alone and mad
Without a love I never found
I just want somone to read this book
Before they lay me in the ground
When Jesus comes a callin'
And the angels take my hand
I hope I'm never known in Heaven
As the soul of a lonely man
I don't wanna go to Heaven
As the soul of a lonely man
