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
