Our eyes meet as I grip the microphone
Wishing I had a girl like you back home
Maybe then I wouldn't need these nights
Pouring whiskey just to drown the fight
With memories of her that won't leave me alone
But tonight, I sing every word for you
Hoping somehow, it'll pull me through
I've tried and I've tried, but I can't erase her face
Cried and I've cried, trying to fill that empty space
She tore me apart, left me shattered and weak
Now I'm singing to you, but her ghost still speaks
I see your smile, and it feels like a spark
A flash of light breaking through the dark
You're everything I've been searching for
But I still feel her shadow behind that door
I can't outrun what's burned in my heart
But tonight, this song is just for you
Can you save me, or will she come through
I've tried and I've tried, but I can't escape her name
Cried and I've cried, but the pain feels the same
She ripped me apart, left me hollow and free
Now I'm reaching for you, but she won't let me be
I don't want her anymore
But her memory's a wound I can't ignore
You're the one I need to see
Can you heal what she's done to me
I'm caught between the past and now
Trying to forget, but I don't know how
You're my chance to let it go
But her ghost still won't let me show
I've tried and I've tried, but I'm stuck in this fight
Cried and I've cried, praying you'll bring me light
She broke me in ways I can barely believe
But I'm singing for you-help me break free
It was you and not me
But tonight, I want you to see
Help me bury her memory
And set me free
