Temporary Relief

Verse 1:
I was lost, drifting on my own,
Whiskey pouring, trying to feel at home.
Every sip, just a little less pain,
But the morning comes, and I’m back again.

Chorus (Hook):
Whiskey won’t fix a broken heart,
Just a temporary relief before the dark.
Drink tonight, tomorrow I’ll fight,
Gotta start again with the morning light.

Verse 2:
Neon lights and a smoky bar,
Playing my heart on an old guitar.
Friends are laughing, but I feel alone,
Pour another glass, can’t face it on my own.

Chorus (Hook):
Whiskey won’t fix a broken heart,
Just a temporary relief before the dark.
Drink tonight, tomorrow I’ll fight,
Gotta start again with the morning light.

Bridge:
Maybe one day I’ll find my way,
Till then I’ll pour this hurt away.
Life keeps turning, I can’t stand still,
Whiskey helps, but it won’t pay the bill.

Chorus (Hook - Repeat):
Whiskey won’t fix a broken heart,
Just a temporary relief before the dark.
Drink tonight, tomorrow I’ll fight,
Gotta start again with the morning light.

Outro:
I was lost, but now I’m found,
Whiskey pouring as I hit the ground.
Takes the pain, just a little reprieve,
Morning comes, gotta start again, believe.

80s country soul, whiskey-soaked, heartache-driven, slow guitars, steel licks, raw emotional vocals, strong harmonica.
