Verse 1 Bottle’s half full, night’s half gone Neon hums like a bad old song Bartender knows my first name Knows not to ask me why I came Every face got a story to sell Mine tastes like cheap caramel I ain’t here to make confessions I’m just drownin’ out the lessons Pre-Chorus Truth gets loud when the lights go low Whiskey talks, but it don’t say no Chorus Whiskey don’t ask questions Don’t care what you’ve done It don’t judge your reasons It just pulls the trigger and runs Whiskey don’t need answers Don’t look you in the eye Just burns goin’ down And buys you another lie Verse 2 Stool’s worn thin from years like this Same damn ache, different kiss Clock on the wall don’t mean a thing When every drink feels like mercy I’ve heard prayers spill in a glass Heard good men talk to the past Some nights you want forgiveness Some nights you just want numbness Pre-Chorus Guilt don’t whisper, it shouts Whiskey just turns the volume down Chorus Whiskey don’t ask questions Don’t care where you’re from It don’t weigh your conscience It just hits you like a loaded drum Whiskey don’t need answers Don’t promise you right Just keeps your hands busy Till you’re ready for the fight Bridge (Strip Back) Say my name Say it slow Say I’m fine Like you know Instrumental Break (Groove-heavy guitar lick, bluesy but mean) Final Chorus Whiskey don’t ask questions Don’t offer relief Just makes the night easier And the morning harder to believe Whiskey don’t save anyone But it stays when others won’t Yeah, it won’t fix a damn thing But it’ll keep you on your feet Outro Last call Same glass Same ghosts Fade to black
