Won't Be the Whiskey

I'm strong and smooth, some might say hundred proof, I can hang with all the best

I'll be the calm and the steady when your hearts beating out of your chest

You can drink me in at the end of a long hard day

There's so much that I could do when there's nothing left to say

But don't reach for me at the top of the shelf, when you can't put it past yourself

I could be what you need to ease all your pain, but I won't be the whiskey to wash her memory away

I'll drink you in all night til the morning light sun comes peaking through

I'll be the up when you're down, I'll turn all your gray skies to blue

I'll be the faith, the faith you can't afford to lose

But don't reach for me at the top of the shelf, when you can't put it past yourself

I could be what you need to ease all your pain, but I won't be the whiskey

So don't pick me up when you need to forget her name

Honey let's get this one thing straight

I won't be the whiskey, begging you to stay

And I won't be the whiskey to wash her memory away
