Whiskey

Half a glass on the table Lipstick stain on the rim My messy and tangled hair Smells like you and last night’s sin We were laughing over nothing Old scars under new clothes You said “Love’s a loaded bottle” I said “Baby I suppose” (mmm) Whiskey I drank last night Burning through my chest Rose thrown to the floor Every thorn you gave me Still pressed against my neck If this is how love goes I will drink until I forget the pain Bleeding through my shirt Whiskey and thorny roses Phone buzzed You let it tremble Face lit up Then dimmed You traced circles on the tabletop Said “I hate who I’ve been” You asked if I could trust you I lied and said “I do” Truth is I’m just better At staying drunk on you (oh) Whiskey I drank last night Burning through my chest Rose thrown to the floor Every thorn you gave me Still pressed against my neck If this is how love goes I will drink until I forget the pain Bleeding through my shirt Whiskey and thorny roses Maybe love’s a cheap bar trick Smoke and mirrors Quiet regret But every time you say you’re leaving I just buy the next regret (yeah) Whiskey I drank last night Burning through my chest Rose thrown to the floor Every thorn you gave me Still pressed against my neck If this is how love goes I will drink until I forget the pain Bleeding through my shirt Whiskey and thorny roses
