Read Between the Limes

He said goodbye on a napkin I won't bother to keep
Now I'm sittin' in this bar, an open tab and a drink
He promised me forever apparently that's 'bout a week
So I'm raising a few glasses till I'm too gone to speak

But I'm not crying over you, just raising my glass
One more salted rim, one less pain in my ass
Counting these limes, not mistakes that I've made
You walked out the door, don't even wish that you'd stayed
So pour the patrón, one or two more times
You want my story? Just read between the limes

Chasing your memory with tequila in a glass
Salt and lime to remind me a bitter taste of my past
One shot for forgiveness, one shot just for me
I think I've lost count and I'm surrendering my keys

But I'm not crying over you, just raising this glass
One more salted rim, one less pain in my ass
Counting these limes, not mistakes that I've made
You walked out the door, don't even wish that you'd stayed
So pour the patrón, just a few more times
You want my story? Just read between the limes

Soon I'll pay off my tab, while the bartender grins
Catch a ride back home, let the night tuck me in
My only regret is the hangover yet to come
But right now pour one more, I'm not even done

'Cause I'm not crying over you, just raising my glass
One more salted rim, one less pain in my ass
Counting these limes, not mistakes that I've made
You walked out the door, don't even wish that you'd stayed
So pour the patrón, one or two more times
You want my story? Just read between the limes
Yeah, read between the limes
