[Verse 1]
I came in loud
With a glass in my hand
Spun my whole world
Like I never could stand
I said some words
I can't take back now
Tore up the room
And I don't know how
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore that poison
Like it was a crown
Now the morning's here
And it knocked me down
Baby, I see it
Clear as a scar
I hurt you bad
And I went too far
[Chorus]
Whiskey on my tongue
Whiskey on my tongue
I was out of line
I was hurtin' someone
Whiskey on my tongue
Whiskey on my tongue
I didn't mean those words
When the night got rough
[Verse 2]
You stood there quiet
With your eyes on mine
I could see the hurt
Cut through the wine
Your name in my mouth
Sounded cold and mean
Now I hate that man
Who I turned into me
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore that poison
Like it was a crown
Now the morning's here
And it knocked me down
Baby, I see it
Clear as a scar
I hurt you bad
And I went too far
[Chorus]
Whiskey on my tongue
Whiskey on my tongue
I was out of line
I was hurtin' someone
Whiskey on my tongue
Whiskey on my tongue
I didn't mean those words
When the night got rough
[Bridge]
Take this shame
Let it burn out slow
I ain't proud of it
You already know
If I get one more chance
I'll keep my mouth shut tight
No more poison talk
No more cruel goodnight
[Chorus]
Whiskey on my tongue
Whiskey on my tongue
I was out of line
I was hurtin' someone
Whiskey on my tongue
Whiskey on my tongue
I didn't mean those words
When the night got rough
