Verse 1
Neon buzzing in this nowhere bar
Same old stool, same old scars
Bartender knows what I’ll say
“Leave the bottle, I’ll be okay”
Your song’s playing on that old jukebox
Every word just hits like rocks
Everybody here thinks I’m fine
But they don’t see you on my mind
Pre-Chorus
I tried moving on like you told me to
But some things just don’t work like that
Chorus
This whiskey burns but it don’t break through
The way your goodbye still cuts me in two
I can drown these nights in a hundred proof
But the truth is the truth
Every drink just makes it clear
Your memory’s stronger than this beer
Yeah the bottle tries, but it’s no use
Whiskey don’t miss you like I do
Verse 2
Your boots ain’t sitting by the door
Your laugh ain’t echoing anymore
Truck ride home feels twice as long
With the silence where you belong
Your picture’s still up on the dash
I keep saying I’ll take it back
But something in me just can’t
Let go of what we had
Pre-Chorus
I keep chasing that last goodbye
But it’s always one more round away
Chorus
This whiskey burns but it don’t break through
The way your goodbye still cuts me in two
I can drown these nights in a hundred proof
But the truth is the truth
Every drink just makes it clear
Your memory’s stronger than this beer
Yeah the bottle tries, but it’s no use
Whiskey don’t miss you like I do
Bridge
Maybe someday this barstool pain
Won’t be calling out your name
But tonight it’s pouring strong
And you’re still the reason I’m holding on
Final Chorus
This whiskey burns but it don’t break through
Girl I’m still stuck on loving you
Every shot just proves it’s true
Whiskey don’t miss you like I do
