Mikhail Bennett - Whiskey Was Louder Then Me ft. Rose Bennett

This game is louder than- I'm staring at that bottle like it understood your grief I kept getting smaller so I wouldn't be too much But every time I needed you, you were somewhere I couldn't touch Whiskey was lost, that's why you never heard my tears I was calling from the doorway while you disappeared for years I didn't need you perfect, I didn't need you to be free I just needed you to hold me, but whiskey was louder than me You would talk about my brother like he was the only loss Praying hard for his return while I carried both our crosses I stayed right there beside you through every broken day But you never saw me standing, you just watched him walk away I learned love don't mean staying, and silence can cut deep So I buried all my feelings where a child shouldn't have to keep Whiskey was lonely, every word I tried to say I was just a little girl you kept pushing away I didn't need your answers, I didn't need you to believe I just needed you beside me, but whiskey was louder than me And one night you found your knees with a bible in your hands Crying out for something holy, trying hard to understand And I watched you chase forgiveness for the son who walked away But I was still that little girl you forgot to try and save Whiskey was love, but I'm finally false I was never hard to love, you just never made that choice I didn't need your healing, I didn't need you to agree I just needed you to see me, when I was still me Through every broken piece, you just never heard me Cause whiskey was louder than me Rose
