Whiskey Don't Lie

Verse 1

You left your boots out on my porch,

Guess that’s how you say goodbye.

Now I’m sittin’ here with this half-warm beer,

Starin’ at your taillights.

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t mad, I ain’t fine,

Just somewhere stuck in between.

Tryna drown your name in a bottle,

But it keeps floatin’ back to me.

Chorus

’Cause whiskey don’t lie, it tells the truth,

Every shot just talks about you.

I can fake a smile, but deep inside,

It’s killin’ me slow — whiskey don’t lie.

Verse 2

My buddies say I’ll be alright,

Hell, they don’t see what I see.

Your ghost still rides in that shotgun seat,

When I’m headin’ down 23.

Pre-Chorus

Told myself I’d quit tonight,

But the bottle’s beggin’ for one more try.

Every pour just fans the flame,

That won’t ever say goodbye.

Chorus

’Cause whiskey don’t lie, it tells the truth,

Every shot just talks about you.

I can fake a smile, but deep inside,

It’s killin’ me slow — whiskey don’t lie.

Bridge

Yeah, I’ve tried prayin’, I’ve tried runnin’,

I’ve tried sleepin’ through the pain.

But every time I close my eyes,

I see you walkin’ away.

Final Chorus

Whiskey don’t lie, it cuts too deep,

Shows me things I don’t wanna see.

It don’t care, it don’t ask why,

Just burns like hell — whiskey don’t lie.
