Intro (2 bars, half-sung)
Yeah…
Late night, empty room
Hook
Nicotine and beer
Tryna make the silence disappear
Every drag, every sip
Just to feel something real right here
Nicotine and beer
Yeah, I numb it, yeah, I steer
Through the nights you ain’t here
Nicotine and beer
Verse
Smoke in the air, thoughts heavy
Cold cans lined up like they ready
I quit you more times than I can count
Still fall back when I’m not steady
Ash on the floor, phone buzzing
Hope talking but I’m judging
If you call, I might fold
If you don’t, I keep chugging
Hook
Nicotine and beer
Tryna make the silence disappear
Every drag, every sip
Just to feel something real right here
Nicotine and beer
Yeah, I numb it, yeah, I steer
Through the nights you ain’t here
Nicotine and beer
Outro
I know it’s killing me slow
But it helps me let you go
