This Empty Bar - A Different Adieu (Acoustic)

We both screaming, baby.
Hang up the phone.
It's over now.
I never felt so alone.
I got the shivers, baby.
Bathtub blues.
I pace like panic picking
Which way to choose.
I didn't intend
To cause you pain.
If we're being honest,
Can you say the same?
If you'd like,
You could come to the bar.
Take off your clothes.
We'll compare the scars.

These tears are not for you.
These tears trickle for a tid bit of truth.
You only get one chance
To be that sweet
I'm not mourning for you.
I'm mourning for me.

You lay the ladies, baby.
Play the role.
You light the coals
To keep your soul from the cold.
You say the things, baby,
You used to say,
Knowing inside
That they don't mean a thing.
Drink the bourbon, baby,
Whiskey and wine.
Raise the glass and kill it, baby,
Until it's fine.
Wine of wounds
That you cannot see.
Light a candle
At the altar for me.

I'm not crying because of you.
These tears belong to a different adieu.
I cry for the boy that lays dead.
Empty rounds and orchids at the foot of his bed.

You said you love me, baby.
I said it as well.
I sentence served
In the circle of hell.
You could leave me,
Leave me today.
I wouldn't cry.
No way.
You could leave me, baby,
Walk out that door,
But I don't think
I could cry no more.
