Lyrics Ishmael and Maggie - The Trews

Hello, my name is Ishmael
Forget the one about the whale
I'll tell you of a broken-hearted sailor

Maggie took my loyalty
I treated her like royalty
What starts out with such promise ends in failure

Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone
And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home
And I think here I'm better off alone
But I've been thinking too much, I better go home

All hail the queen of cruelty
She has duly been anointed
These final words her majesty had to say
"He who expects nothing never will be disappointed"
Nothing's what she left me, so I guess I'm okay

Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone
And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home
And I think here we all stand alone
But I've been thinking too much, I better go home

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

A promise made to a tab unpaid
It's home, I wade to my bed unmade
A fool to think that I could ever change her
A king upon my barstool throne
I vow to never drink alone
I only drink with friends or total strangers

We're all broken-hearted here
We're all broken-hearted here
We're all broken-hearted here
We're all broken

Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone
And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home
And I think here we all stand alone
But I've been thinking too much, I better go home

I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home

Ah, that was great
Let's do it again
