I finally disproved the saying, “Ignorance Is Bliss”
In truth, it’s a misery; up close, it looks like this
Not smart enough to stop talking, watching the breaking of your heart
Now I’m stuck inside this memory, how I tore our love apart

So I buy your memory a beer
I Buy My Conscience A Bourbon
Before I start blaming me
And give myself another sermon
Our love ended and that’s my fault
There was no need for all this hurting
To make it easy on myself now
I Buy My Conscience A Bourbon

When I stumble on the truth, it laughs right in my face
Regrets just come and go, then your memory takes their place
Now my conscience knows what’s right and your memory knows what’s wrong
Standing here between the two, I’ve been the fool all along

So I buy your memory a beer
I Buy My Conscience A Bourbon
Before I start blaming me
And give myself another sermon
Our love ended and that’s my fault
There was no need for all this hurting
To make it easy on myself now
I Buy My Conscience A Bourbon

But I can’t stop thinking of you
The right, the wrong, the real, the true
I play it back now in my mind
I make the same mistakes each time

So I buy your memory a beer
I Buy My Conscience A Bourbon
Before I start blaming me
And give myself another sermon
Our love ended and that’s my fault
Everything’s broken and left hurting
To make it easy on myself now
I Buy My Conscience A Bourbon

I finally disproved the saying, “Ignorance Is Bliss”
In truth, it’s a misery; up close, it looks like this
