[Verse]
She packed her bags as the sun sank low
Left her perfume where the breeze don’t go
Now it’s just me this chair and the creaky floor
An empty goodbye echoes through the door
[Chorus]
Whiskey’s my companion her ghost my muse
These memories sting like a bitter bruise
A bottle and a shadow both here to stay
She took my tomorrow and left me yesterday
[Verse 2]
Her laughter lingers like a haunting tune
The kind you hum beneath a scarlet moon
Cigarette smoke curls where her smile danced
I’m married to the silence like it’s my last chance
[Chorus]
Whiskey’s my companion her ghost my muse
These memories sting like a bitter bruise
A bottle and a shadow both here to stay
She took my tomorrow and left me yesterday
[Bridge]
Each sip I take her touch feels near
Her whispers ride the burn in cold despair
But love can’t be aged on a dusty shelf
I toast to us while I drink by myself
[Verse 3]
The clock’s stopped ticking but it ticks in my head
The bed feels fuller though it’s just me instead
Her name’s on my lips like a drunken prayer
The whiskey and her they both leave me bare
