Travis Tritt - Nothing Short Of Dying lyrics

rate me

I should have told her more I love her

I should've spent more time at home

But should haves really aren't important

Since the fact is, now she's gone

I wish I'd listened to my conscience

When it said, "Don't let her go"

And if she's wonderin' how I'm doing

Well, I think she ought to know

That I find myself praying

More than I've ever did before

And now I find my heart is breaking

Each time her memory slams the door

And I find myself crying

And trying to hold on

Cause there ain't nothing short of dying

That's worse than being left alone

I thought I'd be just fine without her

I'd be happy, a free man

But the hurting side of lonesome

Is what I didn't understand

And the lessons that I'm learning

Lord, I'm learning awful well

Cause nights I used to spend in heaven

Have been replaced by nights of hell

And I find myself praying

More than I've ever did before

And now I find my heart is breaking

Each time her memory slams the door

And I find myself crying

Oh, and trying to hold on

Cause there ain't nothing short of dying

That's worse than being left alone
