[Verse 1] Boots by the door Glass on the floor Your amber grin Keeps crawling in I swore I'd quit I swore I'd run But one small sip And I'm undone The room gets long The walls get thin Your smoke-colored hands Are pulling me in [Pre-Chorus] You laugh in the dark I hear my name A little kiss A little flame [Chorus] Whisky oh whisky Why can't you let me be Whisky oh whisky Just burn for me Whisky oh whisky You got a hold on me Whisky oh whisky Let me fall, let me bleed (whisky oh whisky) (why can't you let me be) [Verse 2] By midnight, I'm A wanted man With hell in my throat And dust on my hands Your bottle eyes They know my sins You pull me down Then pull me in I hear the wolves Out past the shed Or maybe that's Just inside my head [Pre-Chorus] You laugh in the dark I hear my name A little kiss A little flame [Chorus] Whisky oh whisky Why can't you let me be Whisky oh whisky Just burn for me Whisky oh whisky You got a hold on me Whisky oh whisky Let me fall, let me bleed (whisky oh whisky) (why can't you let me be) [Bridge] Now the candle's low The night's gone sour You wear my face In the final hour One last shot One last lie I raise my glass And watch it die [Final Chorus] Whisky oh whisky Why can't you let me be Whisky oh whisky Just burn for me Whisky oh whisky You got a hold on me Whisky oh whisky Let me fall, let me bleed (whisky oh whisky) (whisky oh whisky)
