Whiskey don’t lie

You said forever out on that porch swing

Stars in your eyes, wore my daddy’s old ring

We danced in the dirt ‘til the sunrise was high

Now the only thing dancing’s this tear in my eye

You took the dog, left the keys on the bed

A note in the kitchen, all you said was “I’m done”

But whiskey don’t lie like your sweet little smile

It burns like your goodbye, stickin’ around a while

I believed every word ’til I saw the truth shine

Through the bottom of a bottle and the wreck of my mind

Yeah, love might fade, but baby—

Whiskey don’t lie

The swing’s still creakin’, your shadow’s still near

But all I got left is this bottle of cheer

Your ghost’s in the mirror, wearin’ my old flannel

And I’m stuck rewinding a heartbreak channel

Tried drownin’ your memory, glass after glass

But the past don’t float—it sinks too fast

And whiskey don’t lie like your soft “I’ll be back”

It don’t make excuses, it don’t cut no slack

I held onto hope, but it slipped through the rye

Now it’s just me and this glass askin’ why

Yeah, hearts can break, but baby—

Whiskey don’t lie

It don’t pretend, it don’t fake a vow

It don’t kiss you then let you down

It tells me straight when the night gets long—

You’re gone, girl, and you ain’t comin’ home

No, whiskey don’t lie like your sweet little smile

It burns like your goodbye, bleeds truth all the while

I believed every word ’til your love ran dry

Now I toast to the hurt ’cause the bottle won’t lie

Yeah, love might fade, but baby—

Whiskey don’t lie
