Three Whiskeys And The Truth

(album: Mr. Sun - 2022)

You don't cross my mind
I don't think about you all day
No, I don't cross that line
I keep your memory at bay

All the strength it's taking
To numb the breaking
If I'm sober, I'm safe 'til

The moon gets to shining and I get to thinking
Think I'll be fine but then I start drinking
Unraveling, unwinding, staring at the stone-cold proof
Takes every bit of the time that I'm killing
My heart hesitates but the pain's always willing
There ain't no lying, baby, I'm missing you
Three whiskeys and the truth
Mm

I go to bed to sleep you off
And I wake up feeling better
Ain't too proud to push it down
But I'm a terrible forgetter

All the strength it's taking
To numb the breaking
If I'm sober, I'm safe 'til

The moon gets to shining and I get to thinking
Think I'll be fine but then I start drinking
Unraveling, unwinding, staring at the stone-cold proof
Takes every bit of the time that I'm killing
My heart hesitates but the pain's always willing
There ain't no lying, baby, I'm missing you
Three whiskeys and the truth

Oh, one takes the edge off
Two makes me numb
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The third one goes down and I'm done

The moon gets to shining and I get to thinking
Think I'll be fine but then I start drinking
Unraveling, unwinding, staring at the stone-cold proof
It takes every bit of the time that I'm killing
My heart hesitates but the pain's always willing
There ain't no lying, baby, I'm missing you
Three whiskeys and the truth

Oh, oh-oh-oh
Three whiskeys and the truth
The third one goes down and I'm done
