Stranger At The Bar

There's been many a times I've sat there with a bottle and a glass

Hearing songs about disaster and living in the past

Tried to make it over something I knew would never last

And every time I leave this place, I swear I'm never coming back

Tried to keep the tears from falling, but I never have a say

While I look in your direction, but you never look my way

Id pry myself up off this barstool and tell you what I want to say

As you walk out of the room, and I never see your face

Here I sit, a stranger at the bar These lonely nights don't seem to be so dark

A life I live, it never seemed too hard Without you, I'd never get that far

I'm around these sorts of people that seem to find a way

Through the cheap cocaine and alcohol, I see it in their face

They're all hiding from themselves, trying to wash away the pain

But it leaves them empty-handed as they slur the words they say

Here I sit, a stranger at the bar These lonely nights don't seem to be so dark

A life I live, it never seemed too hard Without you, I'd never get that far

Maybe I don't know the difference, it doesn't matter what I say

I've been down this road a million times, and it's the same damn way

But of course I'm not a preacher or a righteous man at that

I've been drowned and all my sorrow's just the same as the last

Here I sit, a stranger at the bar These lonely nights don't seem to be so dark

A life I live won't ever get me far Back to you is where all the scenes start

Back to you is where all the scenes start
