Whiskey Tears
Chris Stapleton

Verse 1:
Sun's sinking low, casting shadows on the wall
In this empty house, every memory stands tall
A love is gone, and the silence is loud
Heart's breaking slow, I'm lost in this crowd

Pre-Chorus:
Every sip brings your memory near
In this glass, there's no escape from here

Chorus:
Whiskey tears, burnin' down my face
In every drop, I feel the empty space
Midnight's lone, and the dawn seems far
Whiskey tears, fallin' from my heart

Verse 2:
Your picture's on the mantle, smilin' sweet and kind
But all that's left are echoes, of what we left behind
Nights are long, and the days just drag
A lonely song, wrapped in this old flag

Pre-Chorus:
Every sip brings your memory near
In this glass, there's no escape from here

Chorus:
Whiskey tears, burnin' down my face
In every drop, I feel the empty space
Midnight's lone, and the dawn seems far
Whiskey tears, fallin' from my heart

Bridge:
Aged oak barrels, got nothin' on this pain
Drownin' sorrows, in a glass of ol' bourbon rain

Chorus:
Whiskey tears, burnin' down my face
In every drop, I feel the empty space
Midnight's lone, and the dawn seems far
Whiskey tears, fallin' from my heart

Outro:
So I'll raise a toast, to what we used to be
And let these whiskey tears, finally set me free
