(Intro – spoken)
Yeah…
You’re the only one that answers when it’s late…
Funny how that works.
(Verse 1)
Met her on a night I couldn’t stand myself
Mirror lookin’ back like I need some help
Phone on silent, didn’t call nobody
Just me and my thoughts and a shelf
She don’t judge, she don’t ask where I been
She don’t care ’bout the mess I’m in
She just sits there, cold and patient
Let me pour out everything
First sip burn like truth in my throat
Second one numb what I couldn’t cope
Third one got me saying things
I’d never say if I had hope
I know she bad for my health
But she’s there when I feel by myself
Everybody else got limits
She don’t ever ask for help
(Pre-Chorus)
I say I’m done, then I go back
Tell myself it’s just one glass
But one turns two, then two turns black
Now I’m staring at my past
(Hook)
Mrs. Whiskey, why you miss me
Every time my world gets risky?
You pull up when it gets heavy
Say you’re here if no one gets me
Mrs. Whiskey, you don’t fix me
You just sit there and convince me
Pain fades for a minute
Then it hits me — twice as quickly
(Verse 2)
She knows all my secrets
Knows the nights I couldn’t sleep
Knows the texts I never sent
Knows the promises I couldn’t keep
She don’t tell me I’m dramatic
Don’t say “man up” when I’m crashing
Just a quiet kind of tragic
Temporary satisfaction
I pour courage in a glass
Try to drown what’s in my chest
But when morning light is shining
She don’t help me face the mess
Head pounding like regret
Taste bitter like the truth
I keep saying she’s my peace
But she just hides the proof
(Bridge – stripped down)
You feel like comfort
But you’re camouflage
You feel like closure
But you leave me lost
(Final Hook – more emotional)
Mrs. Whiskey, why you with me
Only love that sticks consistently
You hold tight when I’m breaking
But you’re slowly breaking me
Mrs. Whiskey, I get it
You don’t judge, you just sit there
But I need something real now
Not a glass that says it cares
