Whiskey Burn

1, 2, a 1, 2, 3, 4

Bars are open late tonight
And you stumble in ashamed
You hope that you won't see her there
But you want to just the same
Unknown faces stare you down
With eyes that start to wane
Empty stool it calls you in
It might be warmer in the rain

Its 3am you're walking home
Pretending that you're not alone
You pull out your last cigarette
And take a drag
But nothing comes of it
Oh the lights go out, the streets are dim
You're wonderin' where she's been with him
And if she'll ever wander home again
You cringe at all your lessons learned
For what you hate is what you yearn
Its whiskey burn

The drinks bring out the darkest mind
But its all that gets you through
You wish she was a ghost to everyone in this town
Instead of just a ghost to you
You're left with broken memories
Your thoughts are helpless remedies
Just caught up in the way
You pray for that call to come across your dark phone
But it'll come another day

Its 3am you're walking home
Pretending that you're not alone
You pull out your last cigarette
And take a drag
But nothing comes of it
Oh the lights go out, the streets are dim
You're wonderin' where she's been with him
And if she'll ever wander home again
You cringe at all your lessons learned
For what you hate is what you yearn
Its whiskey burn
Oh she's whiskey burn

You take a shot and don't look back
Cause she was just your heart attack
Time it up, as she walks in
She lets you know you'll never win
They said the rain would purify
But that was just another lie
Her love was such a tragedy
But it was yours for you to keep
Yeah it was yours for you to keep

Its 3am you're walking home
Pretending that you're not alone
You pull out your last cigarette
And take a drag
But nothing comes of it
Oh the lights go out, the streets are dim
You're wonderin' where she's been with him
And if she'll ever wander home again
You cringe at all your lessons learned
For what you hate is what you yearn
Its whiskey burn
Oh she's whiskey burn
