Draining the last from my whisky glass
Trying to drown out all the memories of us
Salty drops blur the ink on the page
If only I'd known
Maybe you'd have stayed
Whisky and tears whenever I think of you
The most beautiful pain I ever put myself through
I didn't say what you needed me to
Thought I had nothing to lose
Until you slipped away
While I turned my back
You grew wings on yours
As I went on blindly
You started to soar
And I, I can only watch from a distance now
As you go from height to height
I don't know what to do to set myself right
Whisky and tears whenever I think of you
The most beautiful pain
I ever put myself through
I didn't say what you needed me to
Thought I had nothing to lose
Until you slipped away
All the mistakes I wish I didn't make
In the low light sometimes I see your face
If you ever, ever change your mind
Next time I would lift you up
I'd let you fly
Whisky and tears whenever I think of you
The most beautiful pain I ever put myself through
I didn't say what you needed me to
Thought I had nothing to lose
Until you slipped away
