Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Half-warm whiskey Half-burnt smoke Half of a man Who can’t take a joke I see your shadow On that bedroom wall I was tearing myself down Till I tore it all [Chorus] Crying drunk talks Slurring all my sins Blaming the past For the mess I’m in Saying I’m sorry To an empty room I wasn’t happy with who I am Now I’m lonely with the truth [Verse 2] Friends all tell me "Man, you’ll be fine" They don’t see the wreck On the inside Guilt in the mirror Eyes red, small I keep dialing your number Then I never call [Chorus] Crying drunk talks Slurring all my sins Blaming the past For the mess I’m in Saying I’m sorry To an empty room I wasn’t happy with who I am Now I’m lonely with the truth [Bridge] Empty bed Cold side, cold sheets I lost you Trying to lose me Wish I could go back To that last night with you Say "I’ll learn to love myself If you can teach me how too" (oh) [Chorus] Crying drunk talks Ain’t fixing what’s gone I’m learning to stand Where I once leaned on I’ll whisper "I’m sorry" To the man I outgrew I wasn’t happy with who I am But I’m trying to be someone true [Outro] Just a long road home And a slow sad song Moving on, falling down Moving on, holding strong
