I don’t know how you do it
But somehow I always go back to you
I told myself you were the perfect fit
After a décor of broken love before
Sitting here all alone on this bar stool
I drink my pain away
I smile to myself as I lift my glass
And begin to say
Cheers darlin’,
Too you and you’re lover girl
I’ve got years to wait around for you
I lied when I said I was ok
I’m so shy
I should’ve kissed you
When we were alone
I don’t know her
I don’t know what she does for you
But I don’t like her
She stole you away from me
She loosened up the *****
I leave this bar, into the cold rain
I swear I can hear a wedding bell
When I feel like I can’t hold it in anymore
I curse the world, look up, and yell
Cheers darlin’,
Too you and you’re lover girl
I’ve got years to wait around for you
I lied when I said I was ok
I’m so shy
I should’ve kissed you
When we were alone
You act like you don’t know me
Now that she’s in your life
She made you look the other way
and forget all about me
Leave me be
Set me free
Cheers darlin’,
Too you and you’re lover girl
I’ve got years to wait around for you
I lied when I said I was ok
I’m so shy
I should’ve kissed you
When we were alone
I don’t know her
But I don’t like her
Cheers darlin’
I’ve got years to wait…

I recently formed a band together this summer (again) and this was one of the first songs I wrote. It ended up becoming one of our top songs. I mean, who doesn't love a broken heart love song, am I right? It was inspired by many of my favorite artists.
