Whiskey Don’t Argue Back

I like conversations That don’t talk back.

I tried explainin’ myself to mirrors, Didn’t like the tone. Tried winnin’ fights with yesterday, Lost every one. Friends mean well, they got opinions, Love to hear themselves. But whiskey just listens quiet And keeps it to itself.

I ain’t lookin’ for mercy. Just a minute of truth.

Whiskey don’t argue back, Don’t tell me what I shoulda been. Don’t quote my past like scripture, Don’t ask where I been. It don’t rush my answers, Don’t fake concern or act. Yeah, I trust a glass at midnight — Whiskey don’t argue back.

Don’t interrupt… Just listen…

I don’t drink to forget a woman, I drink to remember right. Some loves fade from distance, Some fade from too much light. Bartenders learn your silence, They don’t pry or press. They just slide you somethin’ honest And let you finish the rest.

Everybody got advice. Ain’t all of it true.

Whiskey don’t argue back, Don’t dress me up in blame. Don’t tell me how to heal, Don’t ask me to explain. It don’t flinch when I go quiet, Don’t panic at the cracks. Yeah, the best damn listener I know — Whiskey don’t argue back.

I ain’t drownin’ my demons, We just sit and stare. They talk less after midnight When the glass gets fair. I don’t call it weakness, I call it fact. Sometimes the only thing you need Is somethin’ that won’t talk back.

Whiskey don’t argue back, Don’t judge the weight I carry. Don’t rush me toward forgiveness, Don’t tell me when I’m ready. If I leave with less than answers, That’s intact. Some nights don’t need solutions — Whiskey don’t argue back.

Yeah…
