V1.
Well tonight my regrets are dancing with ghosts of my past
My mem’ries waltz 3/4 time with the ice in my glass
Yeah my broken heart's beating to the rhythm of what used to be
Here's to the good times we lost and what's left of me

Chorus:
I could sit here and cry all these tears in my eyes ….. what’s the use ..
Alone in this bar still counting scars you carry inside when you lose
I’m deeper than down holding one more last shot in my hand
Not much I can say cause I drove her away
Trying To Be My Own Man
V2.
I thought I wanted more but the bad somehow got in the way
With both my eyes closed the truth was so easy to sway
Well I can’t put it down, I can’t quit, can’t leave it behind
So I’m right back here drinking her down, one round at a time
