Whiskey in Your Wine Glass - Casey Muessigmann

I could still taste the last words on her lips She's done wasting the best years trying to fix A boy with a bottle to his head every night Holding on to the neck of a fifth too tight If I hadn't learned by now She's didn't wanna be here when I burned me down And packed up every box I wasn't checking off Now twisting the knife by twisting the top Off the same thing I've been drinking But the only thing that's different I pour whiskey in a wine glass, it's the only piece of you that's left I tried cleaning up my act but that's as far as I can get When your memory is what's holding my drink Usually it ain't that hard to let go of the past But I'm drinking whiskey out your wine glass Like to say I'd be over it by now If you'd just empty all those cabinets out But you didn't so I ain't I can't even on the pain It's the same thing I've been drinking Maybe it'd be different If it wasn't for the Whiskey in a wine glass, it's the only piece of you that's left I tried cleaning up my act but that's as far as I can get When your memory is what's holding my drink Usually it ain't that hard to let go of the past I'm drinking whiskey out your wine glass Drinking whiskey out your wine glass She needs a better man, better man I'm no better than, better than Whiskey in a wine glass, it's the only piece of you that's left I tried cleaning up my act but that's as far as I can get When your memory is what's holding my drink Usually it ain't that hard to let go of the past But I'm drinking whiskey out your wine glass Drinking whiskey out your wine glass

I'm feeling lonely Got you on my mind I swear I'll quit drinking this time But it's getting harder Letting your memory go Your warm sweet touch with a heart so cold You tell me you love me But where are you now? I wanna believe you somehow Wherever you are I hope that you're fine I'll be here drinking My whiskey and your wine I see you around From time to time Thinking about those moments Where I was yours and you were mine My friends said to let go But they don't understand You're more than a memory With my heart in your hand You tell me you love me But where are you now? I wanna believe you somehow Wherever you are I hope that you're fine I'll be here drinking My whiskey and your wine I'll be here drinking My whiskey and your wine

When my down gets tough I find a way to cope Drag myself right back up From the end of my rope I pour a strong one straight and mean Swallow hard and let it do its thing My don't give a damn takes over She's not so right I'm not so wrong And I get less sober, she gets less gone And all the broken pieces of our past Shine like diamonds in a whiskey glass All the lines I crossed Just gradually blur And it ain't all my fault for losing her And what was heaven starts to fade And I'm better off anyway My don't give a damn takes over She's not so right I'm not so wrong And I get less sober, she gets less gone And all the broken pieces of our past Shine like diamonds in a whiskey glass Ain't it funny how that half-empty bottle Starts to look half full when you're looking up from the bottom And all the broken pieces of our past Shine like diamonds in a whiskey glass Shine like diamonds in a whiskey glass

Once upon a time our world was on fire And I loved to watch it burn Wild and reckless, never any limits Guess I had a lot to learn 'Cause fire turns to ember, embers to ashes that blow away too soon Now everything's after you is like Having wine after whiskey It went from do anything for you, babe To you don't even miss me Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back And you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine after whiskey Looking back I guess it was really for the best Still you're something that I crave Even though I know it was right to let you go You're a habit hard to break I got used to being high and nothing that I try seems good enough right now It's all so watered down Like having wine after whiskey It went from do anything for you, babe To you don't even miss me Once you've tasted a love that strong You can't go back and you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine after whiskey Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back And you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine It's like having wine After whiskey
