[Verse] Sitting in this dim-lit bar, a bottle by my side, Dreams are haunted every night, I can't keep 'em all inside. In my dreams I fight your memory, wake up black and blue, You ain't here to love me, what am I supposed to do? [Verse 2] Jukebox playing sad old tunes, the kind you always knew, Whiskey drowns the silence, but it never drowns the truth. All this back and forth, these battles in my head, I plead the 5th on loving you, these wounds are far from dead. [Chorus] Lonely nights and empty glasses, heartache on display, Telling lies to strangers, trying to ease the pain. In my dreams I fight your memory, though you're nowhere near, You ain't here to love me, it's your voice I still hear. [Verse 3] Bartender knows my name, he knows just what I crave, Pouring out my heartache like he's pouring out my grave. Neon lights and shadows play a cruel serenade, Whispering your name in every corner where I've stayed. [Verse 4] Every time the door swings open, I hope it might be you, But all I see are strangers who don't have a single clue. They don't know the nights I dream, the battles that I face, Waking up black and blue, bruised by your phantom's trace. [Chorus] Lonely nights and empty glasses, heartache on display, Telling lies to strangers, trying to ease the pain. In my dreams I fight your memory, though you're nowhere near, You ain't here to love me, it's your voice I still hear.
