When you see my car,
Parked outside of that local bar,
Go ahead, stare and wonder,
What the Hell I’m doing there.

But don’t think about pulling in the lot,
Don’t think about walking in.
Don’t look for me in a booth,
I’m not there for something smooth.

Don’t come up,
And sit right down.
Don’t order a beer,
And pretend to look around.

Don’t act like you don’t know,
That I’m sitting right here,
Sippin’ on something strong,
While the bartender gives you your beer.

Don’t ask me how I’m doing.
Don’t question how I’ve been.
Don’t come around here acting,
Like you actually give a ****.

‘cause I don’t want to see your face.
And I don’t want to hear your voice.
I don’t want to know you miss me.
I don’t want to have to make that choice.

I’m just trying to get a buzz,
Something short of tipsy,
Don’t grab my hand,
Lace our fingers,
Don’t tell me that you miss me.

Don’t tell me I look good,
Don’t ask if you still have a chance.
Don’t look at the empty seats and floor,
And ask if I want to dance.

Don’t pull me in close,
Whisper that you want me back.
Don’t offer to buy my next drink,
My mind’s already off the track.

Don’t ask me how I’m doing,
Don’t question how I’ve been.
Don’t come around here acting,
Like you actually give a ****.

‘cause I don’t want to see your face.
And I don’t want to hear your voice.
I don’t want to know you miss me.
I don’t want to have to make that choice.

I’m just trying to get a buzz,
Something short of tipsy.
Don’t grab my hand,
Lace our fingers,
Don’t tell me that you miss me.

Don’t let out that long sigh,
Where you already know I don’t care.
Don’t order my next drink for me,
Everything’s already a watery blur.

Don’t turn your head the other way,
Because you don’t know what to say.
Don’t take another drink of your beer,
While on my face is the track of a tear.

‘cause I didn’t want to see your face.
And I didn’t want to hear your voice.
I  didn’t want to know you miss me,
I didn’t want to have to make this choice.

I was just trying to get a buzz,
Something short of tipsy.
But you grabbed my hand,
Laced our fingers,
And told me that you missed me.
