[Verse 1] I poured your memory in a glass tonight Chased it down with every wrong and right The burn don’t heal but it helps me pretend That some goodbyes don’t mean the end [Pre-Chorus] Every sip cuts deeper than I knew But it’s the only thing that gets me through [Chorus] Like whiskey on a wound, it stings but it saves Fire in my chest where the heartache caves Won’t stop the bleeding, but it numbs the truth I’m drowning in the burn, like whiskey on a wound [Verse 2] Smoke curls slow from the ashtray glow Your ghost still dances in the radio I can’t outrun what the night drags in So I drink you down again and again [Bridge] If pain’s a gospel, I’ve learned the hymn Every drop’s a prayer I confess in sin [Final Chorus / Outro] Like whiskey on a wound, it stings but it saves Fire in my chest where the heartache caves Won’t stop the bleeding, but it numbs the truth I’m drowning in the burn, like whiskey on a wound (guitar lick outro, fading slow)
