The speaker is struggling with conflicting feelings for a lover, with their heart wanting to love them but their head telling them to run away. They are drinking alcohol to both remember and forget their love, with loneliness taking over what is left inside them. The thoughts in their head are a whirlwind of regrets over things they should have done or said. While thinking they could give the lover up, their actions of continuing to think of them and hope for forgiveness show their true feelings, which they blame on the effects of drinking whiskey.

SEEM TO BE AT LEAST A MILLION MILES APART MY HEART SAYS TO LOVE YOU. MY HEAD SAYS TO RUN. IT’S LIKE MY HEART IS TOO AFRAID TO TELL MY HEAD WHAT IT’S DONE. AND I KNOW IT WILL NEVER BE THE WAY THAT IT WAS. EVEN THOUGH YOU’LL BE THE DEATH OF ME I CAN’T GIVE YOU UP
TOO MUCH, IS NOT ENOUGH, IT’S NOT
THE LOVE, IT’S NOT THE LUST THAT GRIPS ME. IT MUST BE THE WHISKEY. {{chorus}} I’VE BEEN DRINKIN TO REMEMBER AND DRINKING TO FORGET. I GOT I LOVE YOU ON MY MIND. I GO JIM BEAN ON MY BREATH. AND LONELINESS HAS GOT THE REST. I GOT NOTHING LEFT WITHIN ME. MUST BE THE WHISKEY. {{verse}} NO I’M NOT GOING CRAZY, BUT LATELY THESE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD ARE A WHIRLWIND OF A WORLD OF A MILLION REGRETS. ALL THE THINGS I SHOULD’VE DONE ALL THE THINGS I SHOULD’VE SAID ALL THE PAIN THAT COMES WITH HATIN THE MESS YOU’VE MADE OF YOURSELF. I KNOW I’M CHASING RAINBOWS THINKIN I COULD GIVE YOU UP BUT THE FACT IS THAT MY ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN MY WORDS IT MAKES IT WORSE. THINKIN OF HER. THINKING SHE’LL FORGIVE ME. IT MUST BE THE WHISKEY. {{Interlude}} SOMETIMES IT HITS ME WHEN I’M A LITTLE TIPSY. IT MUST BE THE WHISKEY
