[Verse 1]
There are words that can’t be unspoken
And things that can’t be undone
She’s heard the lies a thousand times
That she’s the only one.
They take her for a ride
Then leave her far behind
Every man who’s loved her
Has left her over time
[Chorus]
So tonight she’ll take her medicine
Tonight shes going to Do what she’s got to do
She’ll grab a hold of that bottle,
And chase that bitter pill
What time won’t fix, the whiskey will
[Verse 2]
It always starts the same
He swears he’ll be the one
He’ll take her broken heart
And fix all that’s come undone
She promises him forever
But she’s still chained to her past
And it won’t take him long to learn
Forever doesn’t last
[Chorus]
So tonight she’ll take her medicine
Tonight shes going to Do what she’s got to do
She’ll grab a hold of that bottle,
And chase that bitter pill
What time won’t fix, the whiskey will
[Verse 3 – Resignation]
The mirror shows a stranger
A girl she used to know
She toasts to all the could-have-beens
And watches her heart go cold
[Bridge]
She says she’ll love again
At least she thinks she might
She wipes away her tears
And tucks herself in lies
Fairy tales come true—
At least that’s what she’ll say
Still waiting for Prince Charming
To ride in and save the day
[instrumental break]
[Final Chorus]
So tonight she’ll take her medicine
Tonight shes going to Do what she’s got to do
She’ll grab a hold of that bottle,
And chase that bitter pill
What time won’t fix, the whiskey will
[tag]
Tonight shes going to Do what she’s got to do
[tag]
What time won’t fix, the whiskey will
