The music fades, the lights begin to dim
He's left with the silence, and the ghost of a whim
Of a love unrequited, a dream left behind
Another night wasted, another peace of mind

Neon lights blur, the music's a haze
Another gin and tonic, another hazy daze
The world spins 'round, faces a blur
Lost in the rhythm, yearning for her

He's a lonely heart, a soul misplaced
Drowning his sorrows, a love unlaced
The liquor's a comfort, a temporary friend
But the ache in his chest, it knows no end

He sees her eyes, across the crowded room
A flicker of hope, banishing the gloom
But the distance between them, a chasm so wide
He stumbles and stutters, his pride pushed aside

He's a lonely heart, a soul misplaced
Drowning his sorrows, a love unlaced
The liquor's a comfort, a temporary friend
But the ache in his chest, it knows no end

He whispers her name, into the empty glass
Yearning for a touch, a love that will last
But the reflection mocks him, a stranger he sees
Haunted by memories, and the weight of these

He's a lonely heart, a soul misplaced
Drowning his sorrows, a love unlaced
The liquor's a comfort, a temporary friend
But the ache in his chest, it knows no end
He's a lonely heart, a soul misplaced
Drowning his sorrows, a love unlaced
The liquor's a comfort, a temporary friend
But the ache in his chest, it knows no end
