Barstool

The day that she walked out she left without a doubt

In her mind she'd be gone for good

I wouldn't hear it but id broken her spirit

She was tired of feeling misunderstood

Had a beer with her father he said Charlie don't bother

She's left you and and you're on your own

So I wrote her a letter it came back return to sender

And my poor heart sank like a stone

So now I mend my bruises with the cheapest of boozes

And I make things fine with cheap wine

Each tear gets a beer that's how I ended up here

On this barstool at a quarter to nine

So I called her dear mother and she called her big brother

To pass on a message to me

It was a black eyed reminder I should stop trying to find her

And I should just let this all be

Well last night I seen her at the local arena

At a Lucky Ones show with her friends

I tried to say hello but she said oh hell no

I guess this really is the end

So now I mend my bruises with the cheapest of boozes

And I make things fine with cheap wine

Each tear gets a beer that's how I ended up here

On this barstool at a quarter to nine
