Whiskey Don't Heal What You Broke

I've poured your name in a thousand drinks Trying to drown what memory thinks

Bars, stool, prayers, and cigarette ghosts Still can't kill what's hurting most

I begged that bottle for one more round Like it could bring you back somehow

But every burn just tells the truth The only thing I lost was you

Whiskey don't heal what you broke It numbs the pain but fans the smoke

I've chased your shadow through neon haze But all it's ever done is make me stay

These nights are long and this heart's gone cold But no shot can make me whole

I tried everything just to cope But whiskey don't heal what you broke

I see your face in every pour I hear your laugh behind that door

But I ain't strong and I ain't wise Just a man who's good at telling lies

Like I'm alright and I moved on When truth is, girl, you're never gone

And every time that glass runs dry I swear I see you in my eyes

Whiskey don't heal what you broke It numbs the pain but fans the smoke

I've chased your shadow through neon haze But all it's ever done is make me stay

These nights are long and this heart's gone cold But no shot can make me whole

I tried everything just to cope But whiskey don't heal what you broke

It ain't about forgetting you

It's about learning how to live with what's gone

Whiskey don't heal what you broke Can't stitch a soul with liquid hope

I've cursed your name, I've begged the sky But I can't drink away goodbye

I'm tired of lies, I'm tired of smoke This heart still hurts cause it still knows

You can pour and pour until you choke But whiskey don't heal what you broke

It ain't about forgetting you It's about learning how to live with what's gone
