Ever since Olivia left Elliot can't get her off his mind. Olivia feels the same way.
Elliot is sitting at the bar drinking his third beer.
I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that ole
barstool,
And drownin' you in every drop I drink.
I'm
telling you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself
'Cuz
you're not around to hear what I think.
I'm trying to teach my
heart to hate you,
But it ain't workin' right
Now the
truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight.
Lord, it's
more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
'Cuz these
tears I've been crying have left me bone dry,
I wish the
bartender had a cure I could buy,
But the truth is I'm only,
drinkin' me lonely tonight.
Olivia is at her new apartment filling her glass with whisky, again.
He said I'd have to choose between your love
and this old bar room,
And I just laughed, but I guess you knew
best,
Who cares whose right or wrong tonight, my better half is
gone
And this whisky's laying claim to all that's left.
So
I'll just order up another and pretend I'm all right,
When the
truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight.
And Lord, it's
more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside
'Cuz these
tears I've been crying have left me bone dry,
And I wish the
bartender had a cure I could buy,
But the truth is I'm only
drinkin' me lonely tonight.
