Reggae
Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Poor me, pour me another drink,
I’m chasing shadows deeper than I think.
Glass in hand but the silence stays loud,
Empty seats, no laughter, no crowd.
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t wear that ring, it’s just cold metal cold,
Songs fall flat, without you I fold.
Karaoke nights lost in smoky haze,
Trying to sing through this endless maze.
[Chorus]
So pour it up, one more down,
Drunk on memories spinning ‘round.
If I’m ever gonna move along,
I’ll need these whiskey glasses strong.
See the world through blurry lines,
Sip past lies till morning shines.
She’s probably faded on another couch,
I’m caught behind, silent, ouch.
[Verse 2]
Last call creeping like a ghost in my chest,
3 a.m., phone lights up, can’t rest.
Sissy’s voice echoing the pain I hide,
Pour me something deep to numb this tide.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t wanna think of her or that absent ring,
Can’t find a note when I want to sing.
So make them drinks heavier than this ache,
Because brother, she’s gone, there’s no mistake.
[Chorus]
So pour it up, one more down,
Drunk on memories spinning ‘round.
If I’m ever gonna move along,
I’ll need these whiskey glasses strong.
See the world through blurry lines,
Sip past lies till morning shines.
She’s probably faded on another couch,
I’m caught behind, silent, ouch.
[Bridge]
Double shot of heartbreak-proof, glass raised high,
Pouring down the hurt beneath the island sky.
Not just losing, but learning pain’s own song,
In this slow burn night where I belong.
[Chorus]
So pour it up, one more down,
Drunk on memories spinning ‘round.
If I’m ever gonna move along,
I’ll need these whiskey glasses strong.
See the world through blurry lines,
Sip past lies till morning shines.
She’s probably faded on another couch,
I’m caught behind, silent, ouch.
[Outro]
Pour me that last round, steady and true,
In the quiet, I’m finding something new.
Through these whiskey glasses, night unwinds,
Sipping slow, piecing back my mind.
