Verse 1
Barstool confessions, neon on my skin
Clock stuck at midnight, let the regret roll in
I said I’m done for good, swore I’d let it end
But the door swings open and it starts again
Brown eyes cut through smoke, yeah they pull me close
Every promise I broke sittin’ heavy in my throat
I tell myself I’m fine, yeah, I play pretend
But it’s me, the glass, and my old bad habits
Pre-Chorus
I tried to put you up, hide you on the shelf
But you know my weakness better than myself
Every time I say I’m done, I lie
‘Cause goodbye don’t ever last all night
Chorus
Whiskey, whiskey, won’t you go away?
You keep callin’ up her name
She was here, now she gone again
Now it’s me and all my whiskey friends
I don’t wanna wonder where she’s been
But I’m tired of it… yeah, I’m tired of it
Verse 2
Two-step shadows on a dusty floor
Diamond lights, but I’m missin’ her more
Laughs get loud but my mind stays stuck
On a love I lost and can’t give up
Country drawl when she says my name
Got me feelin’ things I can’t explain
I know better, still I dive right in
One more round for my better judgment
Pre-Chorus
Cold glass, burn slow, straight to my chest
Tryna drown a memory that won’t rest
I say “this is it,” then I fall again
Same song playin’ with my whiskey friends
Chorus
Whiskey, whiskey, won’t you go away?
Come back some other day
‘Cause her memory came out to play
And I don’t wanna feel this way
She was here, now she gone again
Now it’s me and all my whiskey friends
And I’m tired of it… tired of it
Bridge
If love’s a habit, I’m addicted bad
If pain’s a price, I already paid that tab
I know the truth but I don’t listen
When the bottle starts talkin’, I’m missin’ her
Outro
Last call echoes like her goodbye
Same old story, different night
I raise my glass, let the hurt stay in
Me, the dark, and my whiskey friends
