Whiskey Stained Memory

My eyes bloodshot red,
Cryin’ tears that burn like whiskey,
Mind’s driftin’ somewhere distant,
Tryin’ hard to forget our history. Pourin’ shot after shot,
Just chasin’ down all that hurt.
You swore you wanted all of me
But baby, you never knew my worth. You kept sayin’ you wanted my body,
Actin’ like that meant somethin’ real.
But touch ain’t the same as lovin’,
And lovin’ ain’t the same as how you feel. Maybe I should’ve warned ya,
But I needed warmth that night
A little borrowed affection,
Just a spark to feel alive. ’Cause the more I think about it,
I ain’t wantin’ to be tied down.
I ain’t built for one-on-one love,
I’m just built for runnin’ around. Three weeks in, you’re fallin’,
Sayin’ I’m the best you’ve ever known.
But pleasure ain’t the same as forever,
And forever ain’t where I’m goin’. Got a thousand-dollar bottle
Sprayin’ whiskey in the air
Laughin’ loud with all my people,
Ain’t a trace of you nowhere. Breakin’ rules, breakin’ hearts,
Honey, what’d you think this was?
You called it love at first touch
I only ever called it lust. You bragged about how I rocked you,
Like that meant I should stay.
But ego shrinks up mighty quick
When the truth gets in the way. You talked about forever,
I talked about hittin’ the road.
You needed time and promises
I needed somethin’ to let go. You left me cracked and shattered,
Pickin’ pieces off the floor…
Now I’m a little colder, a little harder
But baby, that’s on you, not me, no more.
