Old Violin - Daryle Singletary

I can't recall one time in my life I've felt as lonely As I do tonight I feel like I could lay down and get up no more It's the damndest feeling, I never felt it before Tonight I feel like an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again Don't ask me why I feel like this, hell, I can't say I only wish this feeling would just go away I guess it's 'cause the truth Is the hardest thing I've ever faced 'Cause you can't change the truth In the slightest way I've tried So I asked myself I said George, Where in the hell do you go from here? Then like a fool, I turned around And I looked in the mirror And there I was seeing an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again So one more time, just to be sure I said: George, where you gonna go from here? And you know, there wasn't a nickel's worth of difference When I looked into the mirror 'Cause there I was seeing an old violin Soon to be put away and never played again And just like that, It hit me why that old violin and I were just alike We give our all to music And soon we'll give our life Precious memories, how they linger

The note was short, but Lord so strong It simply said, 'I can't go on And live a lie with someone I don't love' She couldn't tell me face to face Oh, but how my world was changed By the hand that held the pen That wrote the words that broke the heart Of the one, the only one that really loves her My tears fell down like fallin' rain But they can't wash away the pain How will I go to sleep without her in my arms She never meant to break my heart But how my world was torn apart By the, hand that held the pen That wrote the words that broke the heart Of the one the only one that really loves her With one stoke of the pen She wrote off all my dreams Erasing all those plans we made together There's no one that I can blame Oh, but how my world was changed By the hand that held the pen That wrote the words that broke the heart Of the one the only one that really loves her I am the one, the only one that really loves her
