Gravel in My Voice

[Verse 1]

Coffee gone cold

Ash in the tray

Same old silence

Got somethin’ to say

I keep rehearsin’

But the words don’t land

You packed your pictures

Left rings on my hand

[Chorus]

There’s gravel in my voice

From callin’ out your name

Whiskey in my veins

And I’m the one to blame

I tore up every choice

Still I can’t let you go

There’s gravel in my voice

And you’re there in every note

[Verse 2]

Your red dress hanger

Still on the door

Radio static

On this hardwood floor

I light that porch light

Like you might turn back

Talk tough to the mirror

But it all sounds cracked

[Chorus]

There’s gravel in my voice

From callin’ out your name

Whiskey in my veins

And I’m the one to blame

I tore up every choice

Still I can’t let you go

There’s gravel in my voice

And you’re there in every note

[Bridge]

I ain’t askin’ for mercy (no)

Just a little truth

If heartbreak is a teacher

Then I’m your living proof

I wear it like a tattoo

Under this Sunday shirt

Every time I open my mouth

You can taste that hurt

[Chorus]

There’s gravel in my voice

From callin’ out your name

Whiskey in my veins

And I’m the one to blame

I tore up every choice

Still I can’t let you go

There’s gravel in my voice

And you’re there in every note (oh)

There’s gravel in my voice

And I’m singing to your ghost
