  • Just another heartache in waiting
    Just another sweet talking dream that ends in lonely nights
    Just another handsome breakup
    And he'll be gone before the morning light
    But he's my mistake to make, all night (night, night, night)

    This bar is full of locals, tourists, drunks and we're all hopeful
    Praying that tonight we will be better than the rest
    Most of us think we're movie stars give us a shot the world is ours
    Come on baby, I think that you and I should dance

    Just another heartache in waiting
    Just another sweet talking dream that ends in lonely nights
    Just another handsome breakup
    And he'll be gone before the morning light
    But he's my mistake to make, all night (night, night, night)

    Telling us stories about the younger years
    We're framed by the names etched in the boothel
    Letting my shoulder lean on yours in this cloud of cigarette smoke
    I lose track of time on purpose, tomorrow's gonna be long
    But it's worth it to feel the spins of alcohol and freedom
    He'd just might and we'd still could, I'm debating if I should

    Just another heartache in waiting
    Just another sweet talking dream that ends in lonely nights
    Just another handsome breakup
    And he'll be gone before the morning light
    But he's my mistake to make, all night
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    This bar is shutting down
    I don't mind if you walk me out
    Oh, that's kinda what life's about

    Just another heartache in waiting
    Just another sweet talking dream that ends in lonely nights
    Just another handsome breakup
    And he'll be gone before the morning light
    But he's my mistake to make, all night
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    He's my mistake to make all night Writer/s: Cam Ochs, Tyler Samuel Johnson
