Whiskey Don’t Forget Her

Verse 1

She was the love of my life, or so I believed

Had a way with her words, made it hard to breathe

But she walked away, said she couldn’t stay

Left me standing in the silence of yesterday

Verse 2

Her laugh still echoes down this empty street

Like a warm summer night I can’t repeat

She had a heart made of fire, soft and true

And I was a fool, didn’t know what I had with you

Chorus

So I’m drinking whiskey, trying to forget her name

Bottom of the bottle, but it still feels the same

In a bar at midnight, neon buzzing low

I raise one more glass to the girl I let go

Verse 3

Yeah, I know I messed up, I was blind and dumb

Thought love would wait while I tried to run

Now the mirror tells me what I already knew

I’m just a sucker missing someone like you

Chorus

So I’m drinking whiskey, hoping it’ll heal

But it only makes her memory feel more real

In this bar in the night, with the jukebox slow

Whiskey burns, but it won’t let her go

Bridge

They say time will fix what a man can’t change

But tonight time’s just another kind of pain

If regret was a road, I’d be driving all night

With her smile in my head and the bar’s last light

Final Chorus

Yeah, I’m drinking whiskey, ‘til the sun comes up

Trying to drown her laugh in an empty cup

In this bar at night, I’m alone again

Just a broken heart and a glass of pain

Outro

She was the love of my life…

And I lost her fair and square.
