The Gincident - One Minus One

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 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
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?
But she couldn’t stop what she’d begun
Maybe she was scared
Looking back at 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
