Whiskey Lies

[Verse 1] The neon buzz hums through the smoky air, A jukebox tune fills the room, I sit and stare. My wedding ring feels heavier tonight, Whiskey burns, but it don’t make it right. [Chorus] Oh, whiskey lies, it don’t tell the truth, It steals the man I swore I’d be to you. In the arms of a stranger, the pain subsides, But it comes rushin’ back with the morning light. [Verse 2] Her perfume clings, it’s a haunting trace, A shadow of guilt I can’t erase. I tell myself it’s the last time, it’s the end, But the bottle and the bar keep callin’ again. [Chorus] Oh, whiskey lies, it don’t tell the truth, It steals the man I swore I’d be to you. In the arms of a stranger, the pain subsides, But it comes rushin’ back with the morning light. [Bridge] I see your face in the rearview glass, The promises made, now buried in the past. The devil’s in the drink, the devil’s in me, And I’m chained to this sin I can’t set free. [Chorus] Oh, whiskey lies, it don’t tell the truth, It steals the man I swore I’d be to you. In the arms of a stranger, the pain subsides, But it comes rushin’ back with the morning light.
