WHEN THE WHISKEY WEARS OFF
Words and Music by C. W. Brownell 1997, 2022
VERSE 1:
I cant hear the lies that you told
I cant feel our love growing cold
I cant taste defeat from this comfortable seat
Where I put all my feelings on hold
VERSE 2:
I cant see deceit in your smile
No, I cant smell the cheat in your style
My only defense is a set of dull senses
So, I guess Ill be safe for a while
CHORUS:
But when the whiskey wears off
There gonna be tears that run down my face
When my senses return, Ill feel the burn
Of the truth whiskey cannot erase
VERSE 3:
I cant see you leaving today
I cant feel the trust you betray
Cause the pain cannot come while Im still good and numb
And Ill try hard to keep it that way
CHORUS:
But when the whiskey wears off
There gonna be tears that run down my face
When my senses return, Ill feel the burn
Of the truth whiskey cannot erase
BRIDGE:
When the pain comes again, I can count on a friend
Who is there every time
It saved my life from the start, when you first broke my heart
Whiskey rescued my mind Oh, my mind.
CHORUS:
But when the whiskey wears off
There gonna be tears that run down my face
When my senses return, Ill feel the burn
Of the truth whiskey cannot
The truth whiskey cannot
The truth whiskey cannot erase
