I miss so many and I feel alone
An empty mind is the devil’s home,
I have no answers, have no time
The world is changing and passed me by,
The man I was is far away
The man I am was led astray,
Nostalgia should be left behind
I can’t control my lonesome mind,

I care too much what others think
And pour myself another drink,
The world will never see my pain
The bottle knows and loves to stay,
Addiction runs throughout my veins
Another sip is all it takes,
I’m sorry all, you know I tried
I can’t control my lonesome mind

The days are cold, the nights are long
The cliched quote, ‘I can’t go on’,
Yet everyday, I choose to live
I made the choice to never quit,
I feel the pain, I feel the hurt
But still I know, my life has worth,
I have a Lord I can confide
I’ve learned to love my lonesome mind,

Life knocks you down and leaves you broke
But know that life, it still has hope
I write these words to ease your pain
Or let you know, that I relate
I see the hurt, you try to fight,
You punch and punch, with all your might
Yet feel as if you always fail
But trust me friend, you will prevail,
You’re not alone, no need to hide
You can control your lonesome mind
