Used to I could shake a goodbye
On a bar stool on a long night
I could have the leaving gone
By the time the lights came on
But here I am rounding round four
And only wanting you more
Stirring up ice in an empty cup
Is just stirring up memories of us
Like lightning striking under neon signs
Usually by now I feel fine
But this time whiskey doesn't work
And the burn can't hide the hurt
The more I drink, the more I think about you baby
And the high just let's me down
And the miss you doesn't drown
I'm just making a bad thing worse
Cause whiskey doesn't work
Guess I shouldn't be so surprised
That even through bloodshot eyes
That picture of you in the dresser drawer
Is just as beautiful as before
It must be late, they're clearing out
Usually I'm good and numb by now
But this time whiskey doesn't work
And the burn can't hide the hurt
The more I drink, the more I think about you baby
And the high just let's me down
And the miss you doesn't drown
I'm just making a bad thing worse
Cause whiskey doesn't work
Like lightening striking under neon signs
I'm a lot of things but I'm not fine
This time whiskey doesn't work
And the burn can't hide the hurt
The more I drink, the more I think about you baby
And the high just let's me down
And the miss you doesn't drown
I'm just making a bad thing worse
Cause whiskey doesn't work
Oh no
Whiskey, Whiskey
Whiskey doesn't work (Oh no)
Whiskey, Whiskey, The whiskey
Whiskey doesn't work
