There’s a shadow in the bottle on the shelf by the sink,
Label torn, glass cold, smells like regret and ink.
He waits till the house goes quiet, till the tears hit the floor,
Whispers your name in amber light, says I’ve been here before.
He don’t raise his voice, don’t slam no doors,
Just slides down smooth like a closing prayer,
Says the world ain’t kind, but he is,
If you let him stay, he’ll take you there.
Jack Daniels loves you in the dead of night,
When the truth’s too heavy and the wrong feels right.
He don’t judge your scars or where you’ve been,
Just kisses your lips and caves you in.
Yeah, he holds you close when the world lets go,
But he loves you hard… and he loves you slow.
He knows all your secrets, every ache you hide,
Every broken promise, every almost-tried.
He don’t ask for forever, just one more round,
One more memory drowned where the hurt can’t sound.
He says, Baby, I’ll numb what they couldn’t heal,
I’ll make you forget how the truth feels.
His arms are warm, but they’re made of fire,
And every sip just pulls you tighter.
Jack Daniels loves you when no one stays,
When the mirror won’t look back and the nights don’t pray.
He don’t need tomorrow, just tonight to win,
Pour another shot, let the dark sink in.
Yeah, he’ll never leave, that’s the curse you know,
’Cause he loves you hard… and he loves you slow.

But love like that leaves bruises you can’t see,
Takes a little bit of you every time you believe.
He swears he’s the only one who understands your pain,
While he’s carving his name in your veins.
He pours himself stronger when you swear you’re done,
Laughs real low, says girl, you’re not the only one.
Every barstool’s a witness, every glass knows your name,
He don’t need your heart—just your hurt and your shame.
Morning comes ugly, light cuts like glass,
Bottle half empty, future in the past.
His voice is still there in the back of your head,
Saying I’ll be waiting… I’m not done yet.
Yeah, Jack Daniels loves you, but love ain’t kind,
It don’t steal your breath and poison your mind.
He’ll hold you together just to watch you bend,
Call it comfort, call it your best friend.
He never walks out, never says goodbye,
’Cause the darkest love…
Never lets you survive.
So if you hear him calling from the edge of your door,
Remember—
Love shouldn’t leave you crawling on the floor.
