[Verse 1]
Same stool
Same stain on the floor
Bartender knows
What I’m reachin’ for
That cheap burn
Takes the edge off my chest
For a few slow sips
I can fake a little rest
[Chorus]
So I pour it on thick
‘Cause the hurt runs deep
Trade my tears for a tab
And a dreamless sleep
Every night I swear
This is my last drink
But the pain hits play
And it’s whiskey on repeat
Yeah, the pain hits play
And it’s whiskey on repeat
[Verse 2]
Phone screen
Face down by my keys
Missed calls, missed chance
From the boy I used to be
Mama left a prayer
On my old cracked mail
I left it there
Like another unpaid bill
[Chorus]
So I pour it on thick
‘Cause the hurt runs deep
Trade my tears for a tab
And a dreamless sleep
Every night I swear
This is my last drink
But the pain hits play
And it’s whiskey on repeat
Yeah, the pain hits play
And it’s whiskey on repeat
[Bridge]
If I walked out that door
Would the dark walk too?
If I dropped this glass
Could I carry the truth?
Bartender asks
“You’re good?” I lie
Tip my shame
Back one more time (one more time)
[Chorus]
So I pour it on thick
‘Cause the hurt runs deep
Trade my tears for a tab
And a dreamless sleep
Every night I swear
This is my last drink
But the pain hits play
And it’s whiskey on repeat
Yeah, the pain hits play
And it’s whiskey on repeat
