Meg James - Whiskey Whispers Lyrics

It's two a.m. and you're calling
Saying you want me, but I want free
It's too late now, I've already drowned in your manipulation
I'm fighting my self-respect, I'm tired of this neglect

But maybe, just maybe you'll keep your word this time
If only I could see you had your fingers crossed behind

You and your whiskey whispers, hard liquor lies
You're so good at putting on a sweet disguise

You're begging me come over, shouldn't you been getting sober
I'm tying my shoes and I'm out the door
Cause I love those little lies and I'm craving more

When the morning comes and the liquor drains out of your body
You don't want my body

How could you not see
The look in my eyes, each and every time you said to me
That you want me more, baby I adored those words on your lips
But I can smell it on your breath, are you not doing your steps

I thought things would be different this time around
But you just never fail to let me down

You and your whiskey whispers, hard liquor lies
You're so good at putting on a sweet disguise

You're begging me come over, shouldn't you been getting sober
I'm tying my shoes and I'm out the door
Cause I love those little lies and I'm craving more

How dare you say to me these things
That you never f*cking mean
What the hell was the point in telling me
That you wanna see me
When you're standing up right, seeing clear
We both know the only reason I'm here

I'm tied down, but you'd rather drown
Yourself in your sorrows
Well good luck tomorrow

When the morning comes and the liquor drains out of your body
And you can't love nobody
