Nothin' Burns Like You
Eternal Flames of Heartbreak: Tracy Lawrence's Nothin' Burns Like You
Lyrics
Well that summer sun was hot as hell
Describing a scorching summer day
One look at you, it felt more like Heaven
Seeing the person feels like a heavenly experience
Red lips, tanned skin underneath a clear blue sky
Details of physical appearance under a beautiful sky
You and me on the beach holdin' hands, orange ball settin'
Recalling a romantic moment on the beach during sunset
All of that now just seems so far away from where I am tonight
Reflecting on the distance from that happy memory to the current emotional state
They say nothin' burns like Tennessee Whiskey
Comparing the intensity of burning sensation to Tennessee Whiskey
Under the light of a dim neon moon
Setting the scene with a dim neon moon
I've drank up your lies, swallowed my pride
Acknowledging deception and lies
'Til I found out the truth
Discovering the painful truth after swallowing pride
Ain't nothin' burns, burns baby like you
Emphasizing the unparalleled pain caused by the person
Devil kiss, angel eyes
Contrasting traits of the person as both enticing and deceitful
So many wild and crazy nights together
Recalling past wild and crazy nights with the person
Blinded by half truths, I couldn't see us coming apart
Expressing unawareness of the relationship falling apart
Every sip's taking me further down the road of no forever
Each drink symbolizing a step towards the inevitable end
Her goodbye stuck in my mind like a knife to the heart
The painful memory of the person's goodbye
They say nothin' burns like Tennessee Whiskey
Reiterating the burning sensation, referencing Tennessee Whiskey
Under the light of a dim neon moon
Setting the emotional atmosphere with a dim neon moon
I've drank up your lies, swallowed my pride
Enduring lies and swallowing pride again
'Til I found out the truth
Discovering the harsh truth once more
There ain't nothin' burns, burns baby like you
Reaffirming the intense pain caused by the person
They say nothin' burns like Tennessee Whiskey
Repeating the metaphor of burning sensation with Tennessee Whiskey
Under the light of a dim neon moon
Recreating the emotional setting with a dim neon moon
I've drank up your lies, swallowed my pride
Revisiting deception and pride-swallowing
'Til I found out the truth
Rediscovering the painful truth
There ain't nothin' burns, burns baby like you
Reemphasizing the unmatched burning pain caused by the person
Burns baby like you
Repeating the intensity of the burning sensation like Tennessee Whiskey
