This bar has been my home away from her  Used to be she was missing me  Now she's moving in with her best friend  And I'm the only one who wants what used to be  I'm here because today I lost it all  I didn't want to drink at home alone  I just can't believe, all my hopes and dreams are falling  Like a row of dominoes    I thought the man behind the bar  Had heard it all before  My story must have caught him by surprise  'Cause when he handed me my double  There were tears in his eyes  You know you're in trouble, when the bartender cries    He said, Last night, you swore you'd never drink again  I said, Next time, I'm really gonna try  So if she ever calls for me  Oh, you can finally tell her, He ain't here, and it won't be a lie    I asked the man behind the bar  What he he'd been crying for  He said, That bottle used to be a friend of mine  Now I stopped drinking doubles  But I pour them all the time  Son, you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries    As I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew   Every single word he said was true  Well, I told the man behind the bar  I thought I'd seen it all before  Till I saw the sadness in his eyes  That's when I put down my double, and said my last goodbye  'Cause you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries  Oh, you know you're in trouble when the bartender cries
