Drinking to Forget Her

Pour another round, let the tears unwind

Tonight, I lay my worries behind

Met her in the summer, love was sweet and new

But she slipped away, left me drunk on blue

Barstool’s my confessional, whiskey’s my friend

Trying to forget her, but it all depends

Every shot I take, draws her face in my mind

If I drown in this bottle, maybe I’ll be fine

So I’m drinking to forget her, drown my sorrows in rye

Hoping these spirits will help me say goodbye

Each sip’s a memory, every pour’s a lie

Drinking to forget her, till I don’t see her in my eyes

The jukebox plays our song, it cuts like a knife

Reminding me of everything I’ve lost in life

But this old oak counter’s where I find my peace

In these smoky hours, my heart’s release

Lost in this liquor, I forget her face

Hoping I find the strength, to leave this place

So I’m drinking to forget her, drown my sorrows in rye

Hoping these spirits will help me say goodbye

Each sip’s a memory, every pour’s a lie

Drinking to forget her, till I don’t see her in my eyes

Night after night, I chase the hollow sound

Of a love that’s gone, turns this whole town down

But in this bottle, maybe I can mend

Or just forget her ‘til the very end

Pour another round, let the pain be gone

Another night gone, till dawn’s early dawn

Drinking to forget her, and maybe find some peace

In the end, it’s just my only release
