Whiskey Don’t Lie

Verse 1
They’re pointing fingers in this nowhere town
Like I’m the reason everything burned down
Truth gets lost when the rumors fly
Now I’m just the bad guy in their alibi
I walk alone past the neon lights
Your shadow dancing in my mind tonight
Every mile feels like a mile too far
Since you drove away in that old blue car
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t break what they say I broke
But I’m the punchline of every joke
Chorus
So I pour another whiskey, let the silence speak
Trying to drown every memory of you and me
They blame my name for a story untrue
But the only thing I’m guilty of is loving you
I miss your eyes, I miss your touch
Your beautiful smile that meant so much
If you walked back through that door tonight
These whiskey tears would turn to light
Verse 2
Your laugh still echoes down these empty halls
Like a faded picture hanging on my walls
I reach for you in the midnight air
But all I find is a ghost not there
They don’t know how your love felt warm
Like a safe old house in a thunderstorm
Now I’d give anything just to feel
Your arms around me, make this broken real
Pre-Chorus
Every road leads me back to you
No matter what they say I do
Chorus
So I pour another whiskey, let the silence speak
Trying to drown every memory of you and me
They blame my name for a story untrue
But the only thing I’m guilty of is loving you
I miss your eyes, I miss your touch
Your beautiful smile that meant so much
If you walked back through that door tonight
These whiskey tears would turn to light
Bridge
If you could see me now, you’d know the truth
I’m still standing here, still chasing you
No courtroom, no crowd, no lies could erase
The way your love still lives in this place
Final Chorus
So I pour one last whiskey to the girl I need
To the love I lost and the hearts that bleed
They can keep their blame and their twisted view
‘Cause my whole world still belongs to you
I want you back, yeah I need you near
To feel your arms and disappear
And if you ever hear this old song play
Come find me… I never walked away.
