This is likely going to be a country song - been listening to (the late great) George Jones lately.
It's a bit cliché - maybe too much so?
Any and all advice is welcome

One Too Many

The patrons in the bar were starting to get blurred
My waitress thinking hard about showing me the door
She said "I called a cab, he's right outside"
"You've had one too many - you should call this night a night"
{pre}
The taxi ride home gave me time to think
And I realised she had it right about one thing
{ch}
I've had one too many heartaches
Heard one too many lies
Spent one too many 2 a.m.'s
Where I've laid awake and cried
One too many teardrops have
Fallen from my eyes
And love has disappeared on me
One too many times
We pulled up to my townhouse, not a light inside was lit
I got out and thanked the driver - .. I might have left a tip
This house is just a place now, not a home
And I've got to learn to face this life of living on my own
Soon I've got Jack Daniels in my hand
And all too often he's my only friend
I've had one too many heartaches
One too many lies
One too many 2 a.m.'s
I've laid awake and cried
I've come up empty-handed
While reaching for the light
And love has left me stranded here
One too many times
{br}
I only blame myself for all this hurt
And I know I wrote the book on good excuses
But when I'm added to the mix in this big world
I'm the first one to admit
That it has one too many losers
One too many heartaches
One too many lies
One too many 2 a.m.'s
I break down - I can't lie
Like an oak tree falling victim
To a cruel lightning strike
Love has split this heart in two
One too many times
Yeah this mighty oak fell victim
To those cruel lightning strikes
And love has split my heart in two
One too many times
