Bottom Of The Bottle

Young and lost searching for a sign Found comfort in a glass thought it'd be fine Friends and family they all gather 'round But behind my smile a sadness profound In the mirror I see a stranger's face Chasing dreams but losing my place Every sip takes me further away From the man I used to be day by day At the bottom of a bottle I'm too drunk to see Friends don't like the man I've come to be I'm the life of the party but it's all a disguise Behind the laughter there are tears in my eyes Nights blur together in a haze of regret Moments of joy but they're easy to forget I think they love me think they understand But the truth is hidden in the lines of my hand The echoes of laughter they fade away Leaving silence where the music used to play In the quiet I face the truth alone The bottle's grip is a cold heavy stone At the bottom of a bottle I'm too drunk to see Friends don't like the man I've come to be I'm the life of the party but it's all a disguise Behind the laughter there are tears in my eyes Searching for happiness in a liquid dream But the high comes down tearing at the seams I want to be loved want to be free But this path I've chosen is not who I should be One day I'll wake from this self-made hell Find the courage and break the spell Till then I'll struggle with every night Hoping to find my way back to the light At the bottom of a bottle I'm too drunk to see Friends don't like the man I've come to be I'm the life of the party but it's all a disguise Behind the laughter there are tears in my eyes So here I stand on the edge of despair Looking for answers in the evening air The bottle's empty but my heart is full Searching for peace in the depths of my soul
