Hello, Bartender
i stumble and i crawl
to the bar of this pub
trying to get attention
just spare me a second
bartender
i came here to forget
wont you help me do that
i want your whiskey
your gin and tonic
the strongest one
and ill down it
ask for a second shot
i might bore you
with my story of misery
but thats kinda what i pay you
for
am i right
or am i not
haha, i just kill you
don’t i
ill be such a hit
at the stand-up club
coz sorrow
is just the funniest thing
...
anyway
theres this girl
there always is, isnt there
know you heard this
lots of times before
but i hope youll listen
this will sound overused
but shes special
and i love her
it used to be so happy
and everything was fine
but nothing was made
to stay that way
dont you agree
oh, i know you do
now im just this lonely guy
broken from heartache
ive tried all that i can
but nothing seems to work
my cigarettes and weed
smokings
going nowhere
i know you have another
solution
to this little problem
so bartender
hit me with your best shot
haha
told ya i was hilarious
but noones laughing
-
-
ah
now the coldness of this glass
its numbing my hand
and now the acid is in my throat
its burning inside
you know how it feels, right?
im sure you do
it hurts more than i let on
forgive the pretend
but im so used to it
i just cant stop
but the memories are there
and theyre freakin clear
their pain is greater
so ill keep drinking
this beer
i just wish itll continue
and torch all of me
oh, i know itll smart
more than a needle flick
but its gotta be better
than this girl
and her torture
soon i know therell be nothingness
an nice empty hole
buts its gotta better
i know you know
what i mean
-
-
can you still understand me
i know i got it bad
but im sure you also did
back then
to those warm, old,
misused, missed days
the ones
youll never get back
oh, does it sting
the way it settles in
because your girl will never return
...
and neither will mine
oh, neither will mine
that girl
she was all... no, she is all i have
and she left me
because she was cruel
and life is too
kinda funny how they say its unfair
because its ten times worse
im getting pretty wasted
i think she knows that
she doesnt care
but you say
maybe she does
and shes worrying
i see youre still wishing
on dreams
and stupid shooting stars
but i noticed how
quiet youve been
-
-
midnight passed by
hours ago
and i think im almost done
with this
yeah, ill realize tomorrow
that this was pointless
because the moment i came here
i knew
all along
i wont forget
surrounded by other sad men
with their own fantasies
that girl
she was... she is all i have
now shes someone elses
so even though it hurts like hell
i put myself through
this alcohol
you gotta understand
that a fortune on this
and a night of stupor
and a painful morning
and a hangover
and a heavier heart
is a relief
from the way
shes haunting
me
oh, i wont forget forever
but if i can
for only a minute
ill take it
its sad and its stupid
but ill take it
to rid myself
of this unhealthy
addiction
this
girl
oh, for only a minute
ill take it
oh, for this girl...
-
-
im slipping off my sanity
and my consciousness
is practically dead
you better call a taxi
my address is
the apartment complex
right on the corner
of betterliving street
its such an irony
how the place
is a gray stone dump
and the tenants
are cases like me
so come one
call the cabbie
tell him to get here quick
coz you dont want this drunken fool
in your pub too long
hell stain the floor
with his vomit
he wont pay his worth
hell struggle
and give you a hard time
and hell remind you
of a time
when you were just like him
so while you can
call that cab
before i finish this shot
do us a favor
get rid of me
lets pray youre not as unlucky
as my attempts
to free myself
from her
so my parting words
my dramatic farewell
before i say goodnight
and tip you goodbye
let me tell you
that
i know you know how it feels
dont you
