Whisky Don’t Lie

Verse 1
Poured a little bourbon just to take the edge off
Thought it’d drown the memories, but it only made ’em soft
Scotch on the counter, swirling like a storm
Funny how the coldest drink can make the truth feel warm

Pre‑Chorus
’Cause every sip pulls back the curtain on the things I tried to hide
And the burn reminds me healing ain’t a thing you drink inside

Chorus
Whiskey don’t lie, it’ll tell you what you don’t wanna hear
It’ll bring back every moment, every whisper in your ear
Scotch’ll make you brave enough to face the things you ran from
But it won’t fix a broken heart or change what’s already done
Yeah, whiskey don’t lie — it just shows you where the hurt comes from

Verse 2
I’ve stared into a bottle like it held some kind of truth
But all it ever gave me was a mirror to my youth
Saw the man I used to be and the one I’m scared to meet
Saw the love I let slip through and the pride I couldn’t beat

Pre‑Chorus
And the more I tried to numb it, the louder all the pain got
Turns out the hardest lessons are the ones the liquor taught

Chorus
Whiskey don’t lie, it’ll tell you what you don’t wanna hear
It’ll bring back every moment, every whisper in your ear
Scotch’ll make you brave enough to face the things you ran from
But it won’t fix a broken heart or change what’s already done
Yeah, whiskey don’t lie — it just shows you where the hurt comes from

Bridge
But somewhere in the quiet, when the bottle’s finally dry
I learned the only way to heal is look myself straight in the eye
’Cause the drink can start the talking, but the truth is mine to choose
And a man who learns to stand alone’s a man who’ll never lose

Final Chorus
Whiskey don’t lie, it’ll tell you what you don’t wanna hear
But I ain’t scared of facing all the things I used to fear
Scotch’ll make you brave enough to see the man you can become
And I found strength inside the silence when the drinking days were done
Yeah, whiskey don’t lie — but now I know where the truth comes from
