[Verse]
Empty cans lined on the desk they shine
Like broken dreams of yours and mine
You cracked them open one by one
Like mini daggers to my heart and mind
[Verse 2]
Pillows worn from all my tears
Love turns to whispers no one hears
The hours slide like shadows creep
You drink until you fall asleep
[Chorus]
Oh why do you always go back to beer
I miss the days when you were clean
Sober dreams are now memories
Leaving me with words you never say again
[Verse 3]
Last weekend lasted years and years
Your bender left me filled with fear
Looking for that man I once knew
But beer it takes that man from you
[Bridge]
Empty promises we keep
In the silence where you sleep
Wishing that you'd find the way
To turn the night back into day
[Chorus]
Oh why do you always go back to beer
I miss the days when you were clean
Sober dreams are now memories
Leaving me with words you’ll never say again.
