In this poignant ballad, Carrie Underwood explores themes of loneliness and shared sorrow. The narrator finds herself in a bar, seeking solace in solitude and alcohol to mend a broken heart. However, she encounters another individual similarly afflicted by emotional pain. Together, they contemplate the temporary comfort found in mutual companionship without the intentions of romance or future commitments. The song delves into the human need for connection during moments of vulnerability, suggesting that sometimes, the presence of someone who understands our struggles can provide a fleeting but significant relief from personal anguish.
Drinking Alone
Lyrics
Let me make one thing clear
You can buy me a beer, but you ain't taking me home
No pick up lines, I came here tonight to shed a few tears on my own
But sitting there across the room
I couldn't help but notice you seem a little down on your love too
Yeah, my heart might be breaking
But, this seat ain't taken
And you've got me thinkin'
We should be drinkin' alone together
Drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems
We ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
We should be drinkin' alone together (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I don't know what she did to make you hurt like this
But, I know just what to do
It starts with a bottle of good Reposado
And ends with a shooter or two
Tomorrow when the sun comes up
Tonight is the night that never was
Baby, just forget my name
Won't be your one and only
But just 'cause we're lonely don't mean that we should
We should be drinkin' alone together
'Cause drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems
We ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone (together)
Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone (we should be drinking alone)
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone
Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone
I'll pretend that I care
Baby, pull up a chair
We'll stay here 'til they make us go home
We should be drinkin' alone
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone together
Drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems
We ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone (together)
Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone (we should be drinking alone)
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone
Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone
(Oh, oh, oh)
We should be drinkin' alone
(Oh, oh, oh)
