Why Is the Whiskey Always Gone
Lost Love and Empty Glasses: Unraveling the Mystery in Frankie Moreno's Melody
Lyrics
I loved a girl
I was in love with a girl.
What was her name? I don't recall
I can't remember her name.
I don't remember much at all
I have difficulty recalling many details.
I'm pretty sure her eyes were blue
I vaguely remember her having blue eyes.
There was a time
There was a time when I rarely thought about her.
When she hardly crossed my mind
No troubling thoughts obscured my judgment.
No clouded thoughts to make me blind
I had clear thoughts without distractions.
But now those days are through
Those days of emotional detachment are over.
What does it matter if she's gone away
It doesn't matter that she's no longer with me.
What does it matter what I tried to say
My attempts to express myself don't matter.
Why do I stay up all night long
I stay awake all night writing songs for her.
To write her all these songs
Despite my efforts, she won't listen.
She'll never listen anyway
She is indifferent to my songs.
So many questions runnin' through my head
I have many unanswered questions in my mind.
While I fall asleep alone in bed
I go to bed alone with these unresolved thoughts.
So here's another toast to what went wrong
I raise a toast to acknowledge what went wrong.
And why is the whiskey always gone
Expressing frustration about the whiskey always being finished.
An empty glass
An empty glass symbolizing the void from our past.
Drained from the memories of our past
The memories in the bottle don't last.
Why can't the bottle ever last
Questioning why the bottle can't endure.
I'm pretty sure this one was new
I believe this particular bottle was new.
Another pour
Pouring another drink to cope.
I just need a little more
I just need a bit more to numb the pain.
Somebody help me off the floor
Seeking assistance to get up, possibly intoxicated.
‘Cause I got nothing left to lose.
Expressing a feeling of having nothing left to lose.
