Burning whiskey

Verse 1

The city’s quiet, it’s late again

The clock keeps ticking, I talk to your shadow

A glass of whiskey burns my throat

But not as hard as the pain I hold

Pre-Chorus

Every street still knows your name

Every night I ask the same old question

Chorus

I miss you more than ever now

In a room full of silence and regret

Whiskey helps me forget for a moment

But it always brings me back to then

To your laughter, your love, your face

And the ache that never fades away

Verse 2

Lonely nights beneath a frozen moon

You were my home, now you’re gone too soon

Your coat still hangs on that same old chair

Like you might walk back in, like you’re still there

Pre-Chorus

I close my eyes and hear your voice

Like you’re whispering, “Do you remember when?”

Chorus

I miss you more than ever now

My heart breaks every time again

I drink to all that we once were

But mostly to what I lost in you

Take me back to those days

When love was easy, when it was true

Bridge

If I could choose, I’d turn back time

To one last night, one last smile, one moment

When you still said, “It’ll be alright”

And I still knew the feel of your hand

Do you hear me here alone

With a bottle and these memories

Your laughter, your love, your absence

Is all that’s left of me

Take me back to that time

Even if it’s just for one more night

Outro

The whiskey’s gone, the night moves on

But you… you’re still with me
