[Verse]
Her hand in mine but I’m looking away
What’s wrong with me what can I say
A secret burning behind my chest
Feels like a bullet no chance for rest
[Verse 2]
He’s right there laughing across the room
His voice cuts through the smoky fume
A smile that echoes a dangerous lure
I stumble onward can’t find the cure
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in whiskey lies
These chains can’t hold my cries
One night it all fell apart
Drunk and wrecking my fragile heart
[Verse 3]
Empty bottles reflected my sin
His warmth invited I let him in
All those walls collapsed in flames
Her brother whispered my guilty name
[Bridge]
Now I’m haunted by a love untold
An anchor pulling in waters cold
I see her face I see his eyes
No rhyme to justify the ties
[Chorus]
I’m drowning in whiskey lies
These chains can’t hold my cries
One night it all fell apart
Drunk and wrecking my fragile heart
