Heartache Killer
Heartache Chronicles: A Bartender's Pour of Forgetfulness
Lyrics
Just bring me one more round of heartache-killer
Expressing a desire for another round of a drink that numbs the pain of heartache.
Another bottle of help-me-forget-her put a dime in the jukebox and sing along
Requesting another bottle to help forget about a past relationship, suggesting the use of music to cope.
Yes I'll have one more round of I-don't-miss-her
Affirming the need for one more round of a drink to continue avoiding missing the person.
Another bottle of help-me-forget-her maybe I'll stop caring before long
Reiterating the desire for a drink to assist in forgetting, with the hope of eventually ceasing to care.
Hello bartender yes it's been quite some time
Greeting the bartender and acknowledging the passage of time since the last visit.
Say she's here again well I'm really not surprised
Reacting to the news of the person's presence, expressing a lack of surprise.
I've heard she drops by now and then here she's making lots of new friends
Noting that the person is making new friends, prompting thoughts about whether they remember the speaker.
And I wonder if I ever cross her mind
Expressing curiosity about whether the speaker crosses the person's mind.
So bring me one more round...
Repeating the request for another round of the heartache-killer drink.
See her laughing my she looks happy tonight
Observing the person happily enjoying the night, causing emotional pain for the speaker.
See them dancing she's holding him so tight
Watching the person dance intimately with someone else, intensifying the speaker's heartache.
And it just breaks my heart to see him kissin' tender lips that I've been missin'
Expressing emotional distress at witnessing the person kissing someone else.
And takin' all the love that once was mine
Reflecting on the loss of love that the speaker once shared with the person.
So bring me one more round...
Repeating the request for another round, emphasizing the ongoing need to numb the pain.
Maybe I'll stop caring before long
Reiterating the hope that, with continued numbing, the caring for the person will eventually stop.
