Verse 1
So open promise fades
and the sun forgets to rise
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
but it's better I stay dry
Never more than two drinks away
from crying
Verse 2
Stare into the glass
and wait for the time to pass
And thank you for the offer
but you know I must decline
Never more than two drinks away
from crying
Bridge
There used to be a time
When I could hold my head up high
My life stretched out before me
and rivers flowed with wine
I had my love beside me
and everything was fine
But now the ride is over
It's hard to say goodbye
Verse 3
So open promise fades
and midnight turns to day
I'd love to drown my sorrow
but I cannot tell a lie
Never more than two drinks away
from crying
