Whiskey Tears

[Verse]
Beneath the neon lights of that ol' bar,
Ran into memories of who we were,
She's long gone now, but not too far,
In the shadows of my heart, she still lingers.
[Verse 2]
Whiskey pours slow from a dusty bottle,
Every drop tastes like sorrow and regret,
Each sip pulls me deeper into the throttle,
Of a past full of love, now hard to forget.
[Chorus]
Whiskey tears, drownin' my soul,
Every shot feels like losing control,
In a honky-tonk haze, I'm grievin' her name,
Amidst the barstool blues, I'm feelin' the pain.
[Verse 3]
The band's playin' somethin' sad and sweet,
Their tunes dig up old wounds I can't hide,
In every mournful strum, I feel defeat,
She held my heart, now it aches deep inside.
[Verse 4]
Saw her ghost in the long cigarette smoke,
A reminder of nights we thought would last,
But now I'm just a reflection, broke,
A shadow of a love faded to the past.
[Chorus]
Whiskey tears, drownin' my soul,
Every shot feels like losing control,
In a honky-tonk haze, I'm grievin' her name,
Amidst the barstool blues, I'm feelin' the pain.
