Glasses are half empty
sent sliding down the bar
as they clink together
a tip put in the jar
Mood is ever changing
as people come & go
to have a laugh & cheer
& see the crowded show
Broken hearts everywhere
just lying on the floor
mine just left with you
walking out the door
If I had only known
exactly what you think
perhaps I would have waited
to order up a drink
Instead, I gulped it down
& chased you with a shot
it sizzles all the way
my insides burning hot
I'm really not a lush
can handle what I sip
except for in the words
that cursed those pretty lips
I'd like another kiss
I'd really like to know
I guess not meant to be
it seems you had to go
I might just be here waiting
but then again,
...might not
cuz' unlike this here drink
my heart ...
it can't be bought.
