Yeah, looking back now

I can tell that you were trying

To tell me what it was

I called love just wasn't flying

Said you were gonna leave

If I didn't get it right

So you took off like the breeze

As I worked straight through the night

I was the last one to see

What was right in front of me

You were second to the whiskey

You were third to my mama

A fourth to the mortgage

And a fifth to all my problems

I put it all before you

Now it's me that has to face

Empty house, empty glass, and the truth

I never loved you in the first place, oh no

Well, now I'm drunk on regret

And all I think about is change

What I can brings me hope

What I can't just brings me pain

What I could or what I shoulda done

Is made you feel number one

You were second to the whiskey

You were third to my mama

A fourth to the mortgage

And a fifth to all my problems

I put it all before you

Now it's me that has to face

An empty house, an empty glass, and the truth

That I never loved you in the first place

I never loved you in the first place

You were second to the whiskey

Third to my mama

Fourth to the mortgage

And a fifth to all my problems

I put it all before you

Now it's me that has to face

Empty house, an empty glass, and the truth

That I never loved you in the first place
