She put him out like a burn from the bottle
He tried to drown it, but it hit even harder
Two hearts broke in a cold dark valley
Now they sing that whiskey lullaby
She said leave, so I left with the silence
Packed my pride, lost all my guidance
Bottle talk louder than love ever did
Now I’m fightin’ ghosts in the house we lived
I was king for a minute, then ego got loud
Turned a queen to a stranger, couldn’t say it out loud
Now the mirror got cracks, looks just like my past
Every sip feel like poison, still makin’ it last
Told myself I’m a soldier, I don’t ever break
But the nights get heavy and the demons don’t wait
Yeah I drank just to sleep but woke with regret
Drownin’ in memories I’ll never forget
I watched you fade with that bottle in hand
Tried to love you, you wouldn’t stand
Every promise you made turned to smoke in the air
Now I’m left with the silence you left everywhere
I was holdin’ us down while you fallin’ apart
You were killin’ yourself and it broke my heart
So I walked, yeah I left, yeah I chose my peace
But the echo of you never gave me release
Now I’m numb to the nights, I don’t cry no more
But your voice still knocks at my door
And I hate that I miss what we used to be
Even broken… you still got a piece of me
No more fights, no more blame
Just a picture and a name
Two souls lost in the same old pain
And the bottle don’t forget
(Him) I thought the whiskey would wash you away
(Her) I thought leaving meant I’d be okay
(Him) I drank till the light faded into black
(Her) Some hearts never find their way back
I say I’m good but I’m lyin’ through teeth
Got a house full of ghosts, they all sound like me
Every word that I said, every door that I slammed
Turned love into war, now I don’t give a damn
Nah truth is I care too much
So I numb it all, I don’t feel enough
Glass in my hand like it’s holdin’ me down
Tryna drown what I lost but it’s still comin’ round
You were right, I was wrong, yeah I said what I said
Now it echoes so loud every time that I’m bent
I was built not to break, trained not to fold
But I crumble at night when the whiskey gets bold
Pour another shot just to quiet my mind
But the bottle don’t lie, it just buys me time
You can run, you can hide, you can say you’re fine
But the truth comes back every damn night
You don’t get it you never did
I was lovin’ a man who was losin’ his grip
I was beggin’ you fight, but you chose escape
Now I’m stuck with the mess that your habits create
I walked out just to breathe again
But I still feel you under my skin
I ain’t cryin’, I’m tired there’s a difference now
But your name still burns when it leaves my mouth
You were home, you were safe, you were everything real
Now I’m sleepin’ alone tryna teach myself heal
And I hate that I miss what we could’ve been
But I won’t lose myself just to love you again
No more us, just memories
No more trust, just enemies
Same damn pain in different ways
We just lost what we couldn’t save
Pour another shot just to quiet my mind
But the bottle don’t lie
