Bitter Ol’ Whiskey

Lyrics

I’ve been around the world, seen a thousand faces, Learned of love and loss, and the pain that erases, Made my mistakes, haven’t been sober in ages, Love doesn’t die, it just fades in stages. I thought I was strong, but life taught me slow, Strength isn’t given, it’s earned as you grow, And love’s just a word, if it ain’t returned, Won’t take me back now, those bridges are burned. So I sip, that bitter ol’ whiskey, To wash away that sour taste, Please, honey, just kiss me, Don’t let this moment waste. Oh, I can’t be alone now, This house ain’t a home, Everything’s changed now, Since I’m on my own. I see you around, but I keep my distance, Can’t hurt you no more, though I still feel resistance, You’re happier now, and it’s clear to see, Hate to admit it, but you were right to leave me. My body’s worn down, without your embrace, Need that drive that only you could place, Need that love, that only you bring, Need that smile, it’s the reason I sing. So I sip, that bitter ol’ whiskey, To wash away that sour taste, Please, honey, just kiss me, Don’t let this moment waste. Oh, I can’t be alone now, This house ain’t a home, Everything’s changed now, Since I’m on my own. This city don’t care for a man who’s broken, These streets are cold, no words spoken, And you don’t care what you did to me, And I don’t care if I’m lonely and free. I’ll drown my pain in a bottle of wine, Drink away thoughts until I’m feeling fine, And if the wine won’t work, I’ll light up the smoke, Until all this pain is a fading joke. So I sip, that bitter ol’ whiskey, To wash away that sour taste, Please, honey, just kiss me, Don’t let this moment waste. Oh, I can’t be alone now, This house ain’t a home, Everything’s changed now, Since I’m on my own. So I sip, that bitter ol’ whiskey, Till the bottle runs dry, Please, honey, forgive me, For every tear I made you cry.
