These are just lyrics. I see them as a pretty standard pop rock song. But I like telling stories in verse.
Cold Black Coffee
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
one last cigarette touches my lips
tell myself to quit
pause a moment to reflect
take a sip of my coffee and wince
all I got to live for is your memory and
cold black coffee
it’s go no taste
that I can tell
but right now cold black coffee
it’s my only friend
cold black coffee I drink
as I dwell on the brink
cold black coffee
cold black coffee
cold black coffee
take another sip as I reflect
on all I regret
how I let you slip past my grasp
little left of our time but heart gone too far
cold black coffee leaves a mark on my table
just like the ache you left on my heart
don’t know where to start to ease the pain
this cold black coffee isn’t to blame
it’s go no taste
that I can tell
but right now cold black coffee
it’s my only friend
cold black coffee I drink
as I dwell on the brink
cold black coffee
cold black coffee
cold black coffee
[bridge]
I’ll warm the coffee up then
you’ll walk in my door
we’ll click cups like we once did
but then I realize it’s all in my head
again
what’s left to say
you leaving me is my fault
I’ll type a few words of little note
maybe write a love letter I’ll never send
but first I’ve got to finish my
cold black coffee
cold black coffee
cold black coffee
