"BLUE RUIN" LYRICS

I guess it’s just me
Toasting and roasting to our ex-happiness
Barkeep shakes her head, laughing
Oh, you’re blowing off steam
Hey, cheers to me!

I'll get that warm feeling for myself
What’s brewin’
I guess it’s just me tonight
Alone at the Blue Ruin
Why tell the world, I know I’m an ass
I can’t deal with the past
I'll take all my gory glories

I made all these stories
Most of ‘em I don't come out so good
Guess no one can really do it for me except me
I can’t be a good boy
I can’t stop being hot
So I’ll do these shots

As long as love doesn’t get in the way of my perfect solitary life
It's just me tonight making this wrong so right
Oh come on! I took her to a few Red Lobster meals
Santa Barbara weekend steals, once or twice
Hell, she took three years of my life

A toast to failure
But tonight just one
I guess it’s just me
I’ll cheers to no one
