One too many

One too many is a modern country song about domestic abuse, gaslighting, and self-harm. Sounds awful? We've tried to capture the experience in an honest way and with a light-touch. Read the lyrrics and listen to the song. One too many Tried to straighten my dress God, my hair looks a mess. The cracked mirror distorts my face; But I can see enough to spot a lipstick trace. One too many, the same old line, Full of excuses, pretending you're just fine; The make up you're wearing might conceal, But there's a darkness your eyes always reveal. Have one drink, that leads to another, Time and time again, I go on to discover It doesn't matter how many I manage to spill, Because those I drink, offer no cure and never will. One too many, the same old line, Full of excuses, pretending you're just fine; The make up you're wearing might conceal, But there's a darkness your eyes always reveal. Maybe it was something I said, That triggered thoughts inside his head; When I woke, found myself on the floor, The sad fact is, I've been here before. One too many, the same old line, Full of excuses, pretending you're just fine; The make up you're wearing might conceal, But there's a darkness your eyes always reveal. [guitar solo] Tried to straighten my dress God, my hair looks a mess. The cracked mirror distorts my face; But I can see enough to spot a lipstick trace. One too many, the same old line, Full of excuses, pretending you're just fine; The make up you're wearing might conceal, But there's a darkness your eyes always reveal. Have one drink, that leads to another, Time and time again, I go on to discover It doesn't matter how many I manage to spill, Because those I drink, offer no cure and never will. One too many, the same old line, Full of excuses, pretending you're just fine; The make up you're wearing might conceal, But there's a darkness your eyes always reveal. Maybe it was something I said, That triggered thoughts inside his head; When I woke, found myself on the floor, The sad fact is, I've been here before. One too many, the same old line, Full of excuses, pretending you're just fine; The make up you're wearing might conceal, But there's a darkness your eyes always reveal.
