Breakfast of Regrets

[Verse 1] Sunrise in a dirty glass Coffee’s just a prop again Telling me I’ll start to cut it “Next week That’s when” Same shirt from the night before Shaky hands I call it “charm” Say I’ve got it under control While I raise my right arm [Chorus] Here’s to the lies I drink for breakfast To the ache that I pretend is pride I toast the ghost in my reflection Let the whisky win I step aside If being alone makes it burn much better Then pour me that pity on ice Here’s to the lies I drink for breakfast (cheers to the truth I won’t admit tonight) [Verse 2] Phone face down No one’s calling I pretend I like the quiet Say I’m “built to walk alone” As I crack the seal and buy it Tell myself it’s just a habit Little ritual to start the day But the floor keeps getting closer Every time I look away [Bridge] I say “this is the last one” I say “I’ve still got time” I say “I could stop whenever” Every sentence ends in “lie” [Chorus] Here’s to the lies I drink for breakfast To the ache that I pretend is pride I toast the ghost in my reflection Let the whisky win I step aside If being alone makes it burn much better Then pour me that pity on ice Here’s to the lies I drink for breakfast (raise my glass to my own decline)
