This is a short story
about a man with a broken heart
he's sitting lonely in a bar
he turns around to me and starts to talk
pour out two shots
for me and my new friend
another round for me and my new friend
now it's time for two new beers and laughter echoes through the empty room
we discuss sing and toast for life
life goes on we mutually decide
a sudden yell 'last order'
and the memory starts to blur
I wake up alone again
memories shooting through my head
All I make up is a ridiculous figure
Singing, toasting and boozing alone
