lyrics

Went to the bar alone, yeah I went out drinkin. I left my girl at home, I guess she didn't feel like coming. I'll tell her that you said hello the next time I see her. Yeah, of course, I mean when I get home. Of course she will be there. Except that I know that's a lie that I'm trying to put past; the truth is that I haven't seen her since the week before last. The only thing I'm seeing right now is the bottom of my glass...

I shared some drinks with my boys, we raised our glasses and clinked them. I wish they would leave me alone, don't want them to see that I'm blinking back tears of a man heartbroken - behind my tough exterior. You won't hear me piss and moan, that's just not my style. Just me and whiskey and my thoughts, so just keep them coming, while I sit here and think on the times before she took off running, before I cried and I begged and I pleaded: "Don't walk out that door"...

I'm stalling as long as I can - I just can't bring myself home, because I know no one's waiting for me when I walk in the door.
