The Blues and Regret

Another night, another pour,

Tryna wash your name off the floor.

I told the bartender, "make it strong,"

'Cause every memory still tastes wrong.

Your laughter's in this glass I hold,

Burns my throat, but chills my soul.

The Blues and regret, my only friends tonight,

They dance where your perfume used to light.

Every sip's a promise I never kept,

The Blues and regret - that's all I've got left.

I used to toast to love, now I drink to pain,

Each shot's a prayer that calls your name.

The jukebox moans our favorite tune,

And I swear I see your ghost by the moon.

The Blues and regret, keepin' me alive,

In this empty bar where hope don't survive.

Every note's a tear I ain't cried yet,

The Blues and regret - they never forget.

If I could pour you out my veins,

I'd finally walk away from the pain.

But this guitar keeps cryin' low,

And I got nowhere left to go.

The Blues and regret, they know my name,

Echoin' slow through my shame.

Every verse a lie I can't forget,

The Blues and regret - that's my duet.

Last call's over, but I ain't done,

I'll play these Blues till your memory's gone.
