Whiskey Ain't Enough No More
Radio LJ
I’ve been drinkin’ truth from this glass all night
Starin’ down the ghosts in neon light
Her memory’s sittin’ on this barstool
Smilin’ soft like I'm still her fool
I told myself this burn would make it fade
But all it did was carve her name
Now every sip just makes it clearer
She’s gone for good, but still feels nearer
Whiskey ain’t enough no more
To drown the weight she left behind
It used to hush that slamming door
But now it just replays her lines
The bottle's dry, the pain still pours
Whiskey ain’t enough no more
I used to chase the numb and call it peace
Swore I'd let the past off on a lease
But even silence knows her laughter
And every night falls harder after
Friends say I should let her go
But they don’t see her in the smoke
They don’t hear her in these strings
They don’t know what hauntin’ brings
Whiskey ain’t enough no more
Can’t scrub her name off of my soul
It used to heal, it used to score
But now it just leaves deeper holes
I pour and pray, and still implore
Whiskey ain’t enough no more
So I’ll leave this glass here on the rail
And walk back through that lonesome tale
If hurt like this is heaven’s chore
Then whiskey ain’t enough no more
No, whiskey ain’t enough no more
