Whiskey Us Away
Resisting the Whiskey Temptation: Sandee June's Plea for Love
Lyrics
I can tell you're just not interested, You ain't listening
I sense your lack of interest, and it seems you're not paying attention
To a single word I say
You are not attentive to any of my words
Every night you down a lotta drinks And then I think
Every night you consume a significant amount of alcohol, leading me to believe our relationship is in jeopardy
We'll never make it this way
I fear that our relationship won't survive if this pattern continues
Chorus
< em > Chorus
Don't whiskey us away Don't pour us down the drain
Don't let alcohol destroy our relationship; don't let it go to waste
There's no winner in this game Leave the bottle alone tonight
There are no winners in the destructive game we are playing; resist the urge to drink tonight
Let's try to make it right Don't whiskey us away
Let's work together to make things right; avoid the negative impact of alcohol
V2
< em > Verse 2
It's like you need to medicate, You gotta compensate
It seems like you use alcohol as a coping mechanism, trying to compensate for hidden guilt
For the guilt you can't hide
You are dealing with unspoken guilt that you can't ignore
Don't know for sure what it is, But you'll deal with this
The nature of this guilt is uncertain, but it will impact you for the rest of your life
For the rest of your life
It's a long-term struggle to cope with this unresolved guilt
Chorus
< em > Chorus
Don't whiskey us away Don't pour us down the drain
Repetition of the plea not to let alcohol ruin the relationship
There's no winner in this game Leave the bottle alone tonight
Emphasizing that no one benefits from the destructive cycle, and tonight, alcohol should be avoided
Let's try to make it right Don't whiskey us away
Encouraging efforts to correct the situation and avoid the negative influence of alcohol
V3
< em > Verse 3
It's the little things you don't do, They tell the truth
Small actions (or lack thereof) speak louder than words, revealing the truth and worsening the situation
And make this even worse
These seemingly insignificant actions contribute to the deterioration of our relationship
When you turn away at night so easily, And your back's to me
Your easy dismissal and avoidance of me at night is painful and you should be aware of the hurt it causes
You've got to know it hurts
Turning your back on the relationship causes emotional pain
Solo
< em > Solo
Chorus
< em > Chorus
Don't whiskey us away Don't pour us down the drain
Reiteration of the plea not to let alcohol ruin the relationship
There's no winner in this game Leave the bottle alone tonight
Emphasizing the absence of winners in the destructive relationship dynamic, urging avoidance of alcohol
Let's try to make it right Don't whiskey us away
Reinforcing the idea of working together to set things right and resisting the negative impact of alcohol
Bridge
< em > Bridge
I'm not giving up without a fight
A declaration of not giving up easily and being determined to fight for the relationship
And just so you know
A statement emphasizing the commitment to honesty
I'm not living a lie s
Asserting that living a lie is not an option
Chorus
< em > Chorus
So don't whiskey us away Don't pour us down the drain
Repetition of the plea not to let alcohol ruin the relationship
There's no winner in this game Leave the bottle alone tonight
Stressing that there are no winners in the destructive cycle, urging avoidance of alcohol
Let's try to make it right Don't whiskey us away
Encouraging efforts to make things right and resist the negative influence of alcohol
