Ugly Lights

[Verse 1]

I don't remember when the liquor started kicking in

It's been a while since I been off the stuff

I really hate to say I'm turning into a cliché

I'm hoping that nobody brings it up

I left my car behind the bar again last Sunday night

I did the Monday morning drive of shame

And last night's clothes, they smell like smoke

But I don't know how I got home

But I do know my head'll hurt all day

[Chorus]

But I still go and stay too late

And be the girl bartenders hate

The one that doesn't need another one

When the Romeos and Juliets

Have bummed all of my cigarettes

The last kiss in the parking lot is done

I'll be sitting here alone

When the ugly lights come on

[Verse 2]

Well, everybody's got a spark

It's easy hiding in the dark

In a crowded room with pockets full of rings

I sit and watch the whiskey pour

The married men, the exit door

The beginning of another matchbook fling

And I don't try to justify

The reason I'm not living right

I wear my sadness like a souvenir

I drink too much to fall apart

That's how I fight this broken heart

So what if I feel comfortable in here?

[Chorus]

'Cause I still go and stay too late

And be the girl bartenders hate

The one that doesn't need another one

When the Romeos and Juliets

Have bummed all of my cigarettes

The last kiss in the parking lot is done

I'll be sitting here alone

When the ugly lights come on

Hey
