I thought I knew love, thought I had it alright But now I′m staring down a long, lonely night
You packed up your bags, left the keys on the floor Now I'm here wondering what I did this for
Cause I gave you my world, handed you my heart Never thought you′d be the one to tear it all apart
Now it's whiskey-colored tears on a midnight road Trying to drown out the pain I don't want to show
Every shot′s another memory I can′t outrun Cause loving you was easy, but losing you's done
Left me bruised and battered, hanging by a thread With these whiskey-colored tears falling down in red
We had our good times, yeah we had a fire Burning brighter than the stars, higher than the wire
But the flames died out and you walked away Now I′m just a fool trying to keep the pain at bay
These empty bottles line my room like ghosts Each one a reminder of what I lost the most
And now it's whiskey-colored tears on a midnight road Trying to drown out the pain I don′t want to show
Every shot's another memory I can′t outrun Cause loving you was easy, but losing you's done
Left me bruised and battered, hanging by a thread With these whiskey-colored tears falling down in red
I see your face in the rearviews glare Can't shake you off no matter how I swear
It′s like every road leads back to you And there′s nothing in this world I can do
So it's whiskey-colored tears on a midnight road Trying to forget the love I′ll never hold
Every mile's another memory I can′t outrun Loving you was easy, but now you're gone
Left me bruised and battered, hanging by a thread With these whiskey-colored tears falling down in red
Maybe one day I′ll learn to let go But tonight it's just me and this heartache show
With these whiskey-colored tears It just won't fade
Cause baby, losing you′s the price I pay
