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 ´til the sun came up Drank the last few drops there from my bottle When I drifted off to sleep and dropped the glass It 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
