Empty Glass

[Intro] [Soft guitar riffs] [Verse 1] [Male bass voice] In a dim-lit bar, I nurse my pain, A whiskey glass in hand, memories remain. The amber liquid swirls, like my thoughts tonight, Each sip, a bitter echo, of love's fading light. [Guitar interlude] [Chorus] [Male bass voice] Oh, pour me another, bartender, don't be shy, Let the burn drown out the tears I cry. This old jukebox plays songs, of heartache and woe, And my empty glass knows, more than it should know. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] [Male bass voice] She left me like a storm, wild and untamed, Her laughter fading like a distant flame. Now the whiskey's my companion, my confidante, As I trace her name in circles on the bar's worn font. [Guitar riff] [Chorus] [Male bass voice] Oh, pour me another, bartender, don't be shy, Let the burn drown out the tears I cry. This old jukebox plays songs of heartache and woe, And my empty glass knows, more than it should know. [Pre-Chorus] Whiskey whispers secrets, tales of love and loss, Each amber drop a chapter, etched upon the cross. The jukebox spins its vinyl, crooning tales of strife, And I drown in its rhythm, seeking solace in the night. Whiskey knows my secrets, the ache behind my eyes, The way her memory lingers, like smoke that never dies. The jukebox spins its vinyl, tales of love and pain, And I sway with the rhythm, lost in this refrain. [Bridge] [Male bass voice] I've danced with regret, stumbled through the night, Chasing shadows, hoping to make things right. But love's a cruel game, and I've lost my turn, Now I'm just a broken soul, waiting for the dawn to burn. [Chorus] [Male bass voice] Oh, pour me another, bartender, don't be shy, Let the burn drown out the tears I cry. [Outro] [Slowly fading] This old jukebox plays songs, of heartache and woe, And my empty glass knows, more than it should know.
