riffs)
[Verse 1]
Bottle’s open, same old sin
That amber truth just pulls me in
Every drop burns like your name
Every swallow whispers blame
You’re gone but you still stain my tongue
In every line of every song I’ve sung
This bar feels like our old motel
Where love was heaven, and hell as well
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t chase you anymore
But damn, this glass still keeps the score
[Chorus]
’Cause when I drink, it tastes like you
The nights we broke and swore we’d pull through
The kiss, the fight, the truth I knew
All come back in a shot or two
Yeah, when I drink, it’s you I feel
Every buzz cuts too damn real
You’re the ghost that I can’t undo
Every sip still tastes like you
[Verse 2]
That old jukebox plays our song
And I swear it hurts too long
Your laughter’s hiding in the foam
Of this beer that won’t let me go home
Tried moving on, tried letting go
But I keep drowning just below
The surface where your shadow swims
Between my lungs and what might’ve been
[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell myself I’ve healed by now
But every pour still drags me down
[Chorus]
’Cause when I drink, it tastes like you
The nights we broke and swore we’d pull through
The kiss, the fight, the truth I knew
All come back in a shot or two
Yeah, when I drink, it’s you I feel
Every buzz cuts too damn real
You’re the ghost that I can’t undo
Every sip still tastes like you
[Bridge]
Maybe I drink to remember
Maybe I drink to forget
But either way, the burn reminds me
That you ain’t gone yet
So I raise one to the silence
And the mess we made from love
You’re still in the bottom of every cup
[Final Chorus]
’Cause when I drink, it tastes like you
Every scar, every shade of blue
You’re the lie I keep telling through
These nights that never fade from view
Yeah, when I drink, it’s you I feel
Every buzz cuts too damn real
I can’t run, I can’t push through
Every sip still tastes like you
[Outro]
The bottle’s empty, but I ain’t through
’Cause nothing burns quite like you
