Verse 1:
Sittin’ on this bar stool, lookin' at the floor,
Thoughts of you keep hauntin’ me, can’t take it anymore.
Whiskey in my glass, but it just don’t taste the same,
I keep tryin’ to forget you, but I can’t escape the pain.
Chorus:
I can't drink you off my mind,
Every sip just brings you closer, every drop’s a sign.
Your memory’s a river that I can’t stall or bind,
I can’t drink you off my mind.
Verse 2:
Late-night conversations, they still echo in my soul,
The laughter and the love we had, now just taken toll.
Every song that plays reminds me of your smile,
But here I am, and I’m alone, been tryin’ for a while.
Chorus:
I can't drink you off my mind,
Every sip just brings you closer, every drop’s a sign.
Your memory’s a river that I can’t stall or bind,
I can’t drink you off my mind.
Bridge:
Time's a cruel mistress, keeps spinning me around,
Chasin’ after shadows, half-drunk in this town.
But I know deep down inside, your love’s a bittersweet kind,
And until I find a way, I can’t drink you off my mind.
Chorus:
I can't drink you off my mind,
Every sip just brings you closer, every drop’s a sign.
Your memory’s a river that I can’t stall or bind,
I can’t drink you off my mind.
Outro:
Yeah, I can’t drink you off my mind,
Your ghost still lingers, like a slow, dark wine.
With every glass I raise, I’m just buyin’ time,
I can’t drink you off my mind.
