Broken Bottles and Burnt Bridges

[Verse 1]
Cold night, moon cracked like a whiskey grin
Her words hit sharp, tore me from within
She left me dry, like a riverbed in drought
Heart turned to stone, now love's just a blackout
[Prechorus]
I locked the door, threw away the key
Traded my soul for a devil’s spree
[Chorus]
Broken bottles, burnt bridges behind
Her shadow lingers, but it don't rewind
Riding with the devil, six-pack by my side
Heart ain't open, just along for the ride
[Verse 2]
Bar stool sermons, preachers in flannel shirts
Baptized in liquor, drowning all my hurts
Every shot’s a memory, every sip’s a scar
She's the ghost in my rearview, but I never get far
[Bridge]
Ashes in the wind, love’s funeral pyre
Cold steel heart, couldn’t catch fire
Six strings weeping, playing my regrets
Her leaving’s a lesson I’ll never forget
[Chorus]
Broken bottles, burnt bridges behind
Her shadow lingers, but it don't rewind
Riding with the devil, six-pack by my side
Heart ain't open, just along for the ride
