Prompt / Lyrics
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
