lyrics

Whiskey Won’t Bite

[Verse 1]
I sing for her tonight from the introverted corner of my world
Heart and lungs full of silent songs just waiting to be unfurled
Songs of great expectations, broken hearts and desperation
What I lack in intonation I make up for in dedication

[Pre-Chorus]
Well singing songs seems easy next to speaking my mind
Not enough courage in this glass to make that come out right
So I sing for her tonight from the introverted corner of my world

[Chorus]
Well I can think with a silver tongue
But when I speak it just goes numb
Every song I sing, can never be unsung
If she falls for me, well it won’t be tonight
Cuz I’m too scared to speak, and the whiskey won’t bite

[Verse 2]
Well I'm worried what I say will only come out sounding trite
It’s solid in my head, but that's the struggle of my plight

[Pre-Chorus]
I’d rather sit silent, hold my tongue until it’s numb
Than tell her how I feel at the risk of sounding dumb
It’s solid in my head, that’s the struggle of my plight

[Chorus]
Well I can think with a silver tongue
But when I speak it just goes numb
Every song I sing, can never be unsung
If she falls for me, well it won’t be tonight
Cuz I’m too scared to speak, and the whiskey won’t bite
The whiskey won't bite
The whiskey won't bite
The whiskey won't bite
