I poured that bourbon in the glass
Sat down in the chair there by the front door
Where I watched you walk away there with my heart
And all I've ever cared for
Then I scrolled through our old pictures on my phone

Played a song we liked to dance to

Then I stared there at the door and hoped you'd come back through

Just the way you used to



Wishful drinkin'

Wishin' you were comin' home

Wishin' I could take back all I didn't do

And all that I did wrong

I know I never told you

But I love you more than I could ever say

Wishin' you had never left

And drinkin' 'cause I'm the reason you won't stay



I sat there till the sun came up

Drank the last few drops there from my bottle

And I drifted off to sleep and dropped the glass

That shattered on the floor



And I stared down at the pieces and thought

That's just the way my heart's been feelin'

Took the broom and like with you

I swept those broken pieces right out of the door



Wishful drinkin'

Wishin' you were comin' home

Wishin' I could take back all I didn't do

And all that I did wrong

I know I never told you

But I love you more than I could ever say

Wishin' you had never left

And drinkin' 'cause I'm the reason you won't stay



Oh Lord, I'm wishin' you had never left

And drinkin' 'cause I'm the reason you won't stay
