Whiskey and You by Chris Stapleton [Intro]           [Verse] There’s a bottle… on the dresser by your ring And it’s empty… so right now I don’t feel a thing I’ll be hurtin’… when I wake up on the floor and I’ll be over… it… by noon That’s the difference between whiskey and you Come tomorrow… I can walk in any store It ain’t a problem… they’ll always sell me more But you’re forgiveness… that’s something I can’t buy there ain’t a thing… that I… can do That’s the difference between whiskey and you [Chorus] One’s the devil… one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder… if they ain’t both the same But one’s a liar… that helps to hide me from my pain and one’s a long… gone… bitter truth That’s the difference between whiskey and you         [Verse] I’ve got a problem… but it ain’t like what you think I drink because I’m lonesome… and I’m lonesome ’cause I drink If I don’t break down… and bring it on myself it’ll hit… out of… the blue That’s the difference between the whiskey and you [Chorus] One’s the devil… one keeps driving me insane At times I wonder… if they ain’t both the same But one’s a liar… that helps to hide me from my pain one’s a long… gone… bitter truth That’s the difference between whiskey and you        Oh that’s the difference between whiskey and you

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la lutte entre la dépendance à l’alcool et la douleur émotionnelle d’une rupture. Elle exprime le sentiment d'évasion temporaire que l'on ressent en buvant, mais aussi la souffrance que cela engendre. Le narrateur reconnait que l'alcool est une solution de facilité pour fuir son chagrin, mais il réalise que le véritable réconfort, celui que l'on espère trouver dans l'amour et le pardon, est inaccessibile. À travers ces paroles, on perçoit une introspection sur l’effet trompeur de l’alcool face à la réalité amère des relations humaines.
