Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met you on a Friday night at Murphy's downtown
Two whiskeys turned to four, then we shut the place down
Split the check right down the middle, thought we had it made
Never saw the warning signs in the games we played
[Chorus]
The bar tab starts together but we end apart
What felt like forever was just a false start
We were raising glasses while our love fell apart
The bar tab starts together but we end apart
[Verse 2]
Six months of Saturday nights, your hand holding mine
Dancing to the jukebox songs, everything was fine
You talked about forever, I was right there too
But turns out forever meant different things to me and you
[Chorus]
The bar tab starts together but we end apart
What felt like forever was just a false start
We were raising glasses while our love fell apart
The bar tab starts together but we end apart
[Bridge]
Now I'm sitting here alone with a beer I bought myself
Your picture's off the wall, your things are off the shelf
Last call came and went, but the damage was done
Should've closed our tab before we'd even begun
[Chorus]
The bar tab starts together but we end apart
What felt like forever was just a false start
We were raising glasses while our love fell apart
The bar tab starts together but we end apart
[Outro]
Yeah, the bar tab starts together but we end apart
