I walked into the bar,
searching for some solace,
A bottle on the counter,
my troubles I would drown,
With every sip the pain just seemed to linger,
A broken heart and empty glass,
I could never turn it round,
She left me standing there,
a shattered man in pieces,
Her words like knives,
they cut right through my soul,
I tried to hide the tears,
but they fell like raindrops,
In this empty glass of whiskey,
I found my only comfort,
so,
Oh, the pain of a bad breakup and a heart torn apart,
But I'll keep on singing,
pouring out my broken soul,
In this country ballad,
I find my redemption As long as there's a bottom,
and a stage I'll never let go,
The jukebox plays a tune,
a faded love,
a mirror to my story In the lyrics from above,
I raise my glass,
To the love that's now lost,
paying the cost, no matter what the cost,
Now every night I sing to the lonely hearts,
Sharing tales of love that's torn us all apart,
We find solace in the music,
in the words we all know,
In the chorus of the broken,
in the dim bars glow,
Oh, the pain of a bad breakup and a heart torn apart,
But I'll keep on singing,
pouring out my broken soul,
In this country ballad,
I find my redemption As long as there's a bottom and a stage,
I'll never let go,
There's a glimmer of hope,
in the darkest of times,
A melody that promises the sun will still shine,
I'll find my way out of this sorrowful dive With a song in my heart,
I'll keep the hope alive,
Oh,
the pain of a bad breakup and a heart torn apart,
But I'll keep on singing,
pouring out my broken soul,
pouring out my broken soul,
In this country ballad,
I find my redemption As long as there's a bottom,
and a stage I'll never let go,
But there's a glimmer of hope,
in the darkest of times
