Handle the Lonely

There's a picture that our friends put in a frame
Of you acting the fool on a drunk
I hid it deep in my closet
But that ain't stopped it from keeping me up

Here's the belt that you gave me
What a diabolical plan
Because I lost a lot of weight since you wound up in another's arms
Now your memory is holding up my pants

I can handle the lonely
It feels like that's what I was born to do
I can handle
My stomach, my heart and my panic attacks, but
Lord knows I can't handle you, I can't handle you

One of the best things about us
Was our mutual love of music and good tunes
But now every song has a memory
And I've nothing left but country and the blues

I asked your opinion
What's the classiest car I can afford?
Now I'm riding in style
And my passenger seat is empty and ignored

I can handle the lonely
It feels like that's what I was born to do
I can handle
My stomach, my heart and my panic attacks, but
Lord knows I can't handle you, I can't handle you

Now there's no better version of me
Than the one that's standing by your side
But he went south in a hurry, yes he did
On the day you hung me out to dry

I can handle the lonely
Cause it feels like that's what I was born to do
I can handle forgiveness
There's something to hold on to
I can handle the blame game
Cause at least that's something I'm prepared to lose
I can handle
My stomach, my heart and my panic attacks
Lord knows I can't handle you, I can't handle you
