That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome
Johnny & June Carter Cash Lyrics

Tears keep rolling down your cheek
Your sorrow is so overwhelming that it manifests through tears streaming down your face

Your voice gets choked so you can't speak
The weight of loneliness has become so heavy that it constricts your voice, rendering you unable to express yourself

Every day seems like a week
The passing of time feels excruciatingly slow when you are consumed by loneliness

And that's what it's like to be lonesome
This is the essence and experience of feeling utterly alone

You get too blue to stay at home
The emotional burden becomes too overwhelming to bear within the confines of your own residence

But in a crowd you're still alone
Even when surrounded by a multitude of people, you still feel isolated and disconnected from them

You lose the will to carry on
Loneliness drains you of the strength and motivation to continue with life's struggles

Everyone has a hope that's died
Every individual has experienced the crushing loss of a once-burning aspiration

Everyone cries a tear inside
Deep within, everyone harbors pain and sadness that often goes unnoticed by others

Everyone has a cross to bear
Every person carries their own burdens and hardships in life

But I've got more than my share
In comparison to others, I bear an excessive amount of suffering and loneliness

Your mind is built with memories
Your thoughts and consciousness are filled with nostalgic recollections

Your heart cries out for sympathy
Deep within, your heart longs for empathy and understanding from others

An empty blue eternity
The vast expanse of time and space feels desolate, characterized by a profound sense of sadness and longing
