She drinks to remember, he drinks to forget
She wants to go back to September, the days when they first met
She put her blue dress on, said it was just for him
He can’t forget that she took it off for all the rest of them
They both drink alone, nothing else to do
They’re each one minus one, when they should be two
Coffee blacks the morning, whiskey blinds the night
Just one cup, just one spoon, just one bottle, it just ain’t right
She pours a glass of remorse, he fills his with regret
She wishes they could reverse course, but she never did stop to reflect
She let another hold her, he sat alone, finishing the wine
He moved on to harder stuff, she said she fell asleep at nine
They both drink alone, nothing left to do
They’re each one minus one, when they should be two
Coffee blacks the morning, whiskey blinds the night
Just one cup, just one spoon, just one bottle, it just ain’t right
He can’t forget her taste on his tongue, the flavors that they shared
They told their stories, counted beds, did she ever really care
She couldn’t stop what she’d begun, maybe she was scared
After all the lies and loss, she wonders how she dared
They both drink alone, nothing left to do
They’re each one minus one, when they should be two
Coffee blacks the morning, whiskey blinds the night
Just one cup, just one spoon, just one bottle, it just ain’t right
Just one cup, just one spoon, just one bottle, it just ain’t right
