Liquor burns, but not like this pain
Raindrops dancing on my windowpane
I light a smoke, it hides the tears
But not the ghosts from all those years
Streetlights blur, my vision's haze
I trace your name through alleyways
Your shadow lingers in the air
Like perfume on an empty chair
Jazz from a bar down the street plays low
Like the soundtrack to a heart letting go
But baby, I'm stuck in that same refrain
Drunk on regrets and the sound of your name
Some memories fade, but some love won't stay dead
Whiskey burns... but not like this pain
