Whiskey Tears and Broken Years

[Intro] [Verse 1] Another night, the clock screams 3 AM, Her words cut deeper than a razor’s hem. A broken man, I’m chokin’ on the air, This love’s a cross I’m too damned tired to bear. She’s spittin’ fire, I’m drownin’ in the smoke, A hollow heart, a joke I can’t revoke. [Chorus] Whiskey tears and broken years, Can’t outrun the pain, just the gears of fear. Weed and lies, a temporary haze, But the grave’s a bed that don’t ask for praise. [Verse 2] The bottle’s dry, but the ache won’t fade, I’m starin’ down the barrel of mistakes I made. She’s a storm in heels, I’m a ghost in boots, Chasin’ peace in smoke, but it’s just a ruse. The mirror laughs, “You’re a shadow of a man,” One last breath, and I’ll let go of her hand. [Chorus] Whiskey tears and broken years, Can’t outrun the pain, just the gears of fear. Weed and lies, a temporary haze, But the grave’s a bed that don’t ask for praise. [Bridge] A .45 whispers sweet relief, A final dance with my self-made grief. The phone won’t ring, no last goodbye, Just the echo of a love that let me die. [Outro]
