Labored breaths and bed sores, sing it to me all day long When the aching sound of silence used to be our favorite song You and me against the world, you were my man and I your girl We had nothing except each other, you were my whole world Then the day came and you were up and gone

And I still call home that house in Nebraska Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor Where the world was empty, save you and I Where you came and I laughed, and you left and I cried Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours

These dirt roads are empty, the ones we paved ourselves Your mama calls me sometimes to see if I'm doing well And I'd lie to her and say that I'm doing fine When, really, I'd kill myself to hold you one more time And it hurts to miss you, but it's worse to know That I'm the reason you won't come home

But I still call home that house in Nebraska Where we found each other on a dirty mattress on the second floor (Where I needed you, and I need you still) Where the world was empty, save you and I Where you came and I laughed, and you left and I cried Where you told me even if we died tonight, that I'd die yours (So I died there under you every night, all night)

You know, I still wait at the edge of town Praying straight to God that maybe you'll come back around I cry every day and the bottles make it worse 'Cause you were the only one I was never scared to tell I hurt

And I found photographs of our school, on the day we met I thought that you were so beautiful, it was love, I guess And you might never come back home, and I may never sleep at night But God, I just hope you're doing fine out there, I just pray that you're alright
