[Verse 1]
The only thing she left was a tear-stained letter
Said it's too late to try and make things better
Guess she's good as gone
I left her lonely too long

[Pre-Chorus]
She held on waiting on me to change
But any kind of fool could've found a way
To say I did you wrong
I left you lonely too long

[Chorus]
And I should've saw it coming from a mile away
I was just in time to watch her taillights fade
I'd give anything if she'd turn that car around and just come back home
But it's sure looking like she won't
I left her lonely too long
Lonely too long

[Verse 2]
I should've thought about her instead of myself
Put her love first before anything else
That's where she belonged
But I left her lonely too long
[Chorus]
And I should've saw it coming from a mile away
But I was just in time to watch her taillights fade
I'd give anything if she'd turn that car around and just come back home
But it's sure looking like she won't
I left her lonely too long
Lonely too long

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
And I should've saw it coming from a mile away
But I was just in time to watch her taillights fade
I'd give anything if she'd turn that car around and just come back home
But it's sure looking like she won't
I left her lonely too long
Lonely too long

[Outro]
Lonely too long, lonely too long
