[Verse]
I saw your shadow by the bar's back door
It flickered once then it was no more
The jukebox hummed a song I didn’t know
Whiskey on my breath I let the silence grow
[Chorus]
Blame it on the whiskey blame it on the rain
Blame it on the way your words cut like a blade
Blame it on the bottle blame it on my name
Blame it on the whiskey for the mess I made
[Verse 2]
Your ghost is louder than the band tonight
Echoes of your laugh under neon lights
The bartender pours but he don’t ask why
I drink to forget but the memories fight
[Prechorus]
And the floor keeps spinning round
Like the thoughts I can’t keep down
[Chorus]
Blame it on the whiskey blame it on the fire
Blame it on the sparks that burned through our desire
Blame it on the night blame it on the game
Blame it on the whiskey for the mess I made
[Bridge]
Every shot’s a question I can’t answer right
Every drop’s a shadow chasing out the light
I’m drowning in the echoes of your goodbye
But it’s easier to blame the rye
