Toasting to the Woman (версия 2)

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

Bartender, line 'em up, I'm buying for the room

Tonight's not for crying, tonight's for breaking out the gloom

Used to come in here to drown the things I couldn't say

Tonight I'm here to toast the woman walking free today

You thought I'd fall apart, thought I'd be a mess to find

Instead I'm at the bar, lipstick sharp, leaving you behind

Every sad song on the jukebox, I'm skipping past tonight

Tonight's a different kind of record, tonight I'm playing it right

Pre-Chorus

So pour another round, raise it to the air

(raise it up, raise it up)

Here's to never wasting one more tear

(raise it up, raise it up)

Chorus

I'm not drinking to forget you, I'm drinking 'cause I'm free

Toasting to the woman that you never let me be

Every empty seat beside me feels like victory

This the sound of someone finally choosing me

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm not drinking to forget you, I'm drinking 'cause I'm free

(uh, oh-oh)

Toasting to the woman that you never let me be

Verse 2

I used to shrink down at this bar, used to hide my face

Now I'm holding court like I own the whole damn place

Every story that I'm telling, I'm the hero, not the wreck

Every glass I raise tonight is a different kind of check

On the list of things I thought I'd never get to feel

Powerful and certain, unbreakable and real

You can keep the quiet life, keep the version that you chose

I'll be right here at the bar, living loud, living close

Pre-Chorus

So pour another round, raise it to the air

(raise it up, raise it up)

Here's to never wasting one more tear

(raise it up, raise it up)

Chorus

I'm not drinking to forget you, I'm drinking 'cause I'm free

Toasting to the woman that you never let me be

Every empty seat beside me feels like victory

This the sound of someone finally choosing me

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm not drinking to forget you, I'm drinking 'cause I'm free

(uh, oh-oh)

Toasting to the woman that you never let me be

Bridge

Raise it up

(raise it up)

Choosing me

(choosing me)

Here's to every single version

Of the woman I'm gonna be

Chorus

I'm not drinking to forget you, I'm drinking 'cause I'm free

Toasting to the woman that you never let me be

Every empty seat beside me feels like victory

This the sound of someone finally choosing me

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm not drinking to forget you, I'm drinking 'cause I'm free

(uh, oh-oh)

Toasting to the woman that you never let me be

Outro

(uh)

Choosing me

Yeah
