[Verse]
Her picture's on the dusty shelf tonight
The only thing that's clear
Her fading light
A glass of whiskey by my side to keep me sane
But it can't drown the echoes of her name
[Chorus]
Whiskey burns but not as sharp as her goodbye
Memories linger like smoke in the amber sky
I see her face in every shadow
Every tear
But she's long gone and ain't coming near
[Verse 2]
Her laughter used to be my only sweet refrain
Now the silence plays me like a sad refrain
I hold this bottle tight
It's all I got left
Cuz she stole my heart and left the wreck bereft
[Bridge]
It's just the ghost of her and me at this old bar
She’s the brightest scar under my old guitar
Each sip takes me closer
Yet so far away
Can't forget her
No matter what I say
[Chorus]
Whiskey burns but not as sharp as her goodbye
Memories linger like smoke in the amber sky
I see her face in every shadow
Every tear
But she's long gone and ain't coming near
[Verse 3]
Days pass like the spin of a bottle
Round and cruel
The nights pull me deeper into their darkened pool
I swear her voice calls me when the wind does sigh
But I drink to hush it
Though the glass runs dry
