We were two heartbeats away

From wedding rings and a pretty ballgown dress

At the church off 40 West

And we were talking 'bout our future on the steps

Of your daddy's screened in porch

That if I'd ask, you'd tell me yes

Well, it only took a month or so to be someone you used to know

You didn't really have to go, but ya did

And I've never been a somber soul

But part of me ain't here no more

And I've been trying to find him ever since

So now I take my whiskey sour

Sitting bar-side after hours

Thinking how can I get over if the love was never ours?

Hell, I know you got my message

All my X's and my O's

And it kills me by the hour

Now I take my whiskey sours alone

'Cause that one night under neon

Was the first time you ordered me one

And you told me that you loved me

But was it ever true?

'Cause your promises were empty

Now I'm drinking one too many

Drowning out the memory of you

So now I take my whiskey sour

Sitting bar-side after hours

Thinking how can I get over

If the love was never ours

Hell, I know you got my message

All my X's and my O's

And it kills me by the hour

Now I take my whiskey sours

And I don't know why I do it

It's supposed to help me through it

But it's harder when it always tastes like you

And every time I hit rock bottom

I don't know what I should do

Should I call you up again, or should I settle for round two

And just take my whiskey sour

Sitting bar-side after hours

Thinking how can I get over

If the love was never ours

Hell, I know you got my message

All my X's and my O's

And it kills me by the hour

Now I take my whiskey sours alone

And it kills me by the hour

Now I take my whiskey sours alone
