Your Memory Wins

Empty bottles all that’s left from the night before
Next to a pile of dirty clothes on the floor
The answers in that 80 proof can’t cut the morning light
'Cause what was wrong to make me break that seal still ain’t right
When the whisky wears off you’re still gone
And I still wake up without you all alone
You’re still in my heart and this empty bed you left behind
Between the whisky and your memory, your memory wins every time
Just once I’d like to wake up in the clear
Over you enough that your ghost can’t haunt me here
But I could stay drunk for a month, for a month both night and day
And still not make the love we made fade away
When the whisky wears off you’re still gone
And I still wake up without you all alone
You’re still in my heart and this empty bed is all you left behind
Between the whisky and your memory, your memory wins every time
When the whisky wears off you’re still gone
And I still wake up without you all alone
I guess I’ll never learn to live without your love that once was mine
Between the whisky and your memory, your memory wins every time
Wins every time
Your memory wins every time
