lyrics

Verse 1:
This photographs a memory I’m tryin’ to forget/
I keep on drinkin’ it ain’t killed me yet/
I should just throw it away/
I know we’ll never be/
But thanks for the memories/
I should just forget you/
And go move on/
But this fuckin’ jukebox won’t quit playin’ our song/
I’m not gonna leave until you’re outta my head/
And I try to forget it reminds me instead/

Chorus:
Pour me some whiskey/
But thanks for the memories the same/
I’m drunk and lonely/
And need something more to kill the pain/
Pass me the bottle/
I’m only here to drink not play no games/
I’m drinkin’ till I can’t remember you or my name/
Pour me some whiskey/
But thanks for the memories the same/
I’m drunk and lonely/
And need something more to kill the pain/
Pass me the bottle/
I’m only here to drink not play no games/
I’m drinkin’ till I can’t remember you or my name/
 
Verse 2:
Look at this photo/
what could of gone wrong/
I’m tryin’ to move on/
The liquor makes me strong/
I’m not leavin’ this bar/
‘Til the feelings long gone/
But thanks for the memories/
So long/
And what’s hurts worse/
Is knowing that you’re not/
So Ima stay in this bar until I rot/
Pour me another glass/
I need more than a shot/
‘Cuz I’m tryin’ to forget/
But I just cannot/

Chorus
 
Verse 3:
Fuck this photograph and your memory too/
I should throw it away/
Or at least tear it in two/
I’m doubling down/
Keep them glasses coming/
A shot ain’t enough/
Keep ‘em coming into the morning/
And when I leave this bar and the sun comes up/
I’ll start the day fresh and hope the liquor was enough/
So as I close the day/
I hope it ain’t my last/
And I’ll just leave this broken picture in this broken glass/
So thanks for the memories/
Thanks for the memories the same/

Chorus
