Whiskey and White Lies

Whiskey and white lies that's what you gave

A heart half-healed and a soul half-slaved

Poured me a shot just to watch me drown

Every sweet word was a letdown

Whiskey and white lies burning slow

Told me you'd stay but you let me go

I lived on your lips till the bottle ran dry

Now I'm haunted by whiskey and white lies

You kissed me soft with a poison tongue

Swore on forever but the night was young

Bottle on the counter and your shoes by the door

I should've known better than to ask for more

Whiskey on your breath when you said my name

But the truth in your eyes never drank the same

Every I love you was a crooked line

A gospel written in borrowed time

Whiskey and white lies that's what you gave

A heart half-healed and a soul half-slaved

Poured me a shot just to watch me drown

Every sweet word was a letdown

Whiskey and white lies burning slow

Told me you'd stay but you let me go

I lived on your lips till the bottle ran dry

Now I'm haunted by whiskey and white lies

Late-night calls with a half-slurred tone

I knew in my gut I was not alone

Lipstick smears on a borrowed glass

Your forever faded way too fast

Promises cracked like a sidewalk split

I held the pieces but they never fit

Love don't break it just bends 'til it dies

And you bent me with whiskey and white lies

Whiskey and white lies that's what you gave

A heart half-healed and a soul half-slaved

Poured me a shot just to watch me drown

Every sweet word was a letdown

Whiskey and white lies burning slow

Told me you'd stay but you let me go

I lived on your lips till the bottle ran dry

Now I'm haunted by whiskey and white lies

Truth tastes bitter but it cuts so clean

I'd trade your love for an honest dream

The bottle's gone but the hurt still stays

Your lies still burn in a thousand ways
