There's a new girl in the corner, I'm a local at the bar
She's breaking the loneliest of hearts
So when she came to talk to me, I probably should have seen
This would be a train wreck from the start
I'm so tired of waiting for this boy to ask
I drink to every minute as they pass
He looks an honest man, treat me decent when he can
But I know that I'm moving way too fast
A month until December, it's the year since we first met
Working every hour for our bed
Don't know if it'll last, but the preacher's move in fast
No one likes a sinner until you're wed
I saw my mother crying, she hides it with her sleeve
She dreams of all the places we'd have seen
But it's the same bar that we're in, like cracks in porcelain
Keep pouring, but I'm empty when I leave
Now you fear you'll fade away
And no one's there to watch you as you fall
Just one or two of these a day
Would surely help to ease the pain
No, you won't feel anything at all
Anything at all
Do you think we'll ever make it
Don't know until we try
My hands begin to tremble from the fight
Now the way you look at me in sweet sobriety
Leaves me feeling like my throat's a little dry
