Just the Whiskey talkin'

I remember when I met you
And the feelings that it brought
Falling hard, Deep in love
And daily thankin' God

How was I so lucky
What did I do to deserve this man
I had met my soul-mate
giving myself, all to you, with everything I had

I thought the feeling was mutual
Thought that you felt the same
Took me to long to realize
I was just a pawn in your stupid game

Treat her like a princess
Make her whole world feel complete
Give her a couple of babies
Put her in a place she knows she can't leave

Then slowly you start creeping out
The man you've always been
Can't hide your secrets anymore
Sorry babe I drank to much again

You know I didn't mean it
I know your not a whore
It was just the whiskey talkin'
Now step back so I can drink some more

What was a few times a month
Now is every day
A half-assed hungover I'm sorry
Wont make it go away

You had taken away the me I knew
The one I was proud to be
left in its place a broken soul
Who'd give anything to just be free

You tell yourself you've won
We are right where you want us to be
All to scared to make a move
You know we'll never leave

You think you've broke me down
Showed me I don't deserve nothing more
But every broken promise and hurtful word
Gives me a secret strength to get me out the door

Ive watched and learned how to play your game
And here is where the twist comes in
The broken girl that stands before you
Is about to give you a dose of your own medicine

See I made a promise to our babies
After you kicked my ass and passed out on the floor
I wiped their tears And held them tight
Promised them with all my heart we won't take this anymore

We've all known this little secret
The plans made behind your back
You unknowingly funding our secret stash
Doing anything needed to cover our tracks

So baby when you wake up
Take that drink to get your head out of the fog
I want you to be fully aware
As you look around and realize we're gone

You see those babies you used to control me
Deserve all the good there is in this world
And now I know I am the only one to give it to them
This fat stupid ugly girl

As you look around our empty house
and try to catch your breath
Please know we'll find someone to love us right
As you drink yourself to death
