Whiskey On Your Name
By Melissa Mashburn
Verse 1
I poured that bottle just to calm this heart,
But every drop burned like your goodbye start.
Your shadow’s still dancin’ in this faded light,
Like you left your boots in my soul last night.
I tried movin’ on, but the truth hits slow —
Some memories burn harder than they let on show.
And every time I think I’m finally okay,
I hear your voice roll in like a midnight train.
Pre-Chorus
And I swear I’m over you,
’Til that old pain slips right through…
CHORUS (HARD)
Now there’s whiskey on your name,
And it hits me like a flame —
Burnin’ through the letters like they’re carved inside my veins.
Yeah, I drink, but you remain,
Every sip don’t taste the same —
’Cause baby, you left a fire I still can’t tame.
So I raise one up again…
Yeah, there’s whiskey on your name.
Verse 2
Your old hoodie’s still hangin’ on the backroom chair,
I tried to toss it once, but my heart wouldn’t dare.
Your smell crawls in like a slow sad song,
And I hate how that memory still feels so strong.
I could dance with strangers in a neon haze,
But none of ’em shake me like you used to, babe.
I laugh, I smile, I pretend I’m fine —
But you show up every damn time.
Pre-Chorus
Thought the whiskey’d wash you clean,
But you haunt every in-between…
CHORUS (BIGGER)
Now there’s whiskey on your name,
And it hits me like a flame —
Burnin’ through the letters like they’re carved inside my veins.
Yeah, I drink, but you remain,
Every sip don’t taste the same —
Baby, you left a fire I still can’t tame.
So I raise one up again…
Yeah, there’s whiskey on your name.
Bridge
(emotional + powerful)
Maybe someday I’ll let you go,
Stop drownin’ your memory shot for shot, slow.
But tonight that bottle knows the truth —
Every heartbreak still leads back to you.
Final Chorus (BIG & RAW)
Now there’s whiskey on your name,
And it hits me just the same —
Burnin’ like the hell you left inside this heart you claimed.
Yeah, I drink, but you remain,
No matter how I numb the pain —
Seems every drop still whispers your damn name.
So here I go again…
Yeah, there’s whiskey…
whiskey on your name.
Outro
Guess some loves don’t fade —
They just turn into whiskey on your name.
