paint the town blue

I've tried the going out, running 'round with the party crowd
Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak didn't mean anything
I've tried the burning it up and the shutting it down
Look how that turned out

I've done everything
But giving in to the pain
So tonight

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Ain't going to the house 'til I forget to remember
Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red
But tonight, I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue

Gonna find me a barstool with a silver line and silver smoke
Gonna fall to pieces like this barely beating heart you broke
Yeah, I've been acting like you're something that I don't want back
But hell, this ain't that

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Ain't going to the house 'til I forget to remember
Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red
But tonight, I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
I ain't gonna lie, I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Ain't going to the house 'til I forget to remember
Ever since you left, I've been trying to paint it red
But tonight, I'm doing something new
I'm gonna paint the town blue
I'm gonna paint the town blue

I'm gonna paint the town blue
