Drink after Drink

Verse 1:

The jukebox hums a lonesome tune,

This empty bar feels just like my room.

Each sip I take, you’re in my mind,

I can’t escape, though I try each time.

Pre-Chorus:

The bartender says, “Time heals the pain,”

But every shot whispers your name.

Chorus:

Drink after drink, still thinking of you,

Drowning in whiskey, but I can’t break through.

The more I pour, the clearer you stay,

Drink after drink, you don’t fade away.

Verse 2:

Your ghost lingers in the cigarette haze,

A memory locked in a never-ending maze.

I thought I’d find peace at the bottom of this glass,

But it only reflects the shadows of our past.

Pre-Chorus:

The clock ticks slow, the night won’t end,

You’re in my heart, like a loyal friend.

Chorus:

Drink after drink, still thinking of you,

Drowning in whiskey, but I can’t break through.

The more I pour, the clearer you stay,

Drink after drink, you don’t fade away.

Bridge:

They say time’s the cure, but time stands still,

Each drop’s a reminder I can’t rebuild.

I’ve tried to let go, but it’s no use,

You’re the habit I can’t refuse.

Chorus:

Drink after drink, still thinking of you,

Drowning in whiskey, but I can’t break through.

The more I pour, the clearer you stay,

Drink after drink, you don’t fade away.

Outro:

So here I’ll sit, ‘til the neon’s through,

Drink after drink, still thinking of you.
