[Music]

ah

My buddies at the party, they don't think I can

forget you

and I feel like if it's

true, I think I believe them. You're acting like

nothing's wrong, like you're already

used to it, like you don't even

remember me, that you've even taken

my sense of humor

No, come on

come on

Accept that you're no longer in my life

Waiter, please, bring another bottle

to see if I can finally forget

her with this one. A ton of girls know my bed

and I don't even know how they're called, what

bill did I leave them so expensive? Poor things,

I left them really

broken. I'm so wasted I could try to go for the moon

but there's only one, and you know well that it's

yours

[Music]

Baby

[Music]

And honestly, even if it hurts, no one will

ever be able to love you like

I do, and of that, I am

sure, my love, I

swear to you. That's why I became

a drunk. Before you, I was a good

guy. Tell me what you've done to me, my heart

is

shattered. Waiter, please, bring another

bottle to see if I can finally forget

her with this one. A ton of girls know my bed

I don't even know their names, what

bill did I leave them so expensive? Poor things,

I left them really

broken. I'm so wasted I could try to go for the moon

but there's only one, and you know well that it's

yours
