Another Cup of Coffee
Heartache Brew: Brook Benton's Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics
Another cup of coffee, another cigarette
Seeking comfort through routine habits of having coffee and smoking.
Another hour of mem'ries so hard to forget
Reflecting on difficult memories that are hard to erase.
How your crazy-lovin' arms held me so tight
Remembering the embrace and closeness of your affectionate arms.
Another cup of java, another lonely night
Continuing the cycle of seeking solace in coffee during a lonely night.
Put a dime in the jukebox, play a sad, sad song
Using music to express sorrow, dwelling on a shattered dream.
And all the time I'll be thinkin' about the dream that's gone wrong
Constantly thinking about a failed relationship and its demise.
And where you used to say "Our love is still alive"
Recalling past affirmations of love that no longer hold true.
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night
Continuing the ritual of having coffee during a night of solitude.
But there'll be me, I don't blame you for walkin' out on me
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the breakup.
'Cause the way I cheated on you, I deserve this misery
Recognizing one's faults and accepting the resulting unhappiness.
Another love has found you, he's a lucky guy
Noting someone else has found love, feeling regretful and sorrowful.
Another's arms all around you, I'm so sad I could cry
Feeling deep sadness seeing someone else holding you now.
Darling, if you don't come back, I know what's in sight
Anticipating a future without reconciliation, preparing for loneliness.
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night
Continuing the pattern of seeking comfort in coffee during solitary moments.
Whoa, dear, if you don't come back, I know what's in sight
Reiterating the bleak outlook if the person doesn't return.
Another cup of coffee, another lonely night
Emphasizing the recurring pattern of loneliness and coffee consumption.
Another cup of coffee, hmmm, another lonely night
Highlighting the ongoing cycle of loneliness accompanied by coffee.
