Whiskey and Regret is his quiet reckoning — the night he comes home smelling like a bar, wrestling with guilt he won't say out loud, choosing the burn of whiskey over the harder work of honesty. A somber, weighted ballad about a man just starting to understand what he's been running from. Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Came in past midnight, smelled like a bar

She didn't say a word, just turned away

I told myself it was the ranch, the stress

But that's not the whole truth I'd say

[Verse 2]

She woke up to whiskey on my breath

Sighed, and went to make the coffee anyway

Didn't yell, didn't cry, just carried on

And that quiet hurt more than anything she could say

[Pre-Chorus]

There's ghosts I never told her about

Old fears that still creep in at night

I drown 'em instead of talkin' about 'em

And that ain't ever gonna make it right

[Chorus]

Whiskey and regret, that's my old familiar friend

Easier than sayin' what's wrong

Easier than admitting that I'm scared

Of losing something I've waited for so long

Whiskey and regret

Sitting heavy in my chest tonight

I keep choosing the burn over the truth

And I know that ain't right

[Verse 3]

She never asked where I'd been

Never made me feel the shame I already felt

The tension cuts sharper than any argument

Silence is the sharpest knife I've ever dealt

[Chorus]

Whiskey and regret, that's my old familiar friend

Easier than sayin' what's wrong

Easier than admitting that I'm scared

Of losing something I've waited for so long

Whiskey and regret

Sitting heavy in my chest tonight

I keep choosing the burn over the truth

And I know that ain't right

[Bridge]

Maybe tomorrow I'll find the words

Maybe I'll put the bottle down

Maybe I'll let her see the parts of me

I've been keeping underground

[Outro - quiet]

Whiskey and regret...

Time to put it down...
