lyrics

The Bottle

She picks up the bottle
and fills up her glass
She drinks till she’s throttled
the pain from her past
She’s bent on forgetting
his face and his name
As the candles burn down
She says here's to old flames

Chorus:

Till she reaches for the bottle
she don’t reach for me
It’s the only way she gets him
Out of her memory
She only lays the torch down
When she picks up a drink
Till she reaches for the bottle
She don’t reach for me


I know it ain’t likely
I can smother that flame
But I love her so much
I’ll try just the same
I'm more man than him
Why can’t she see
That till she reaches for the bottle
She don’t reach for me

Chorus:

Till she reaches for the bottle
she don’t reach for me
It’s the only way she gets him
Out of her memory
She only lays the torch down
When she picks up a drink
Till she reaches for the bottle
She don’t reach for me

Bridge:

When the bottle is empty
and her glass is dry
She'll smile and say I love you
But the truth is in her eyes

Chorus:

Till she reaches for the bottle
she don’t reach for me
It’s the only way she gets him
Out of her memory
She only lays the torch down
When she picks up a drink
Till she reaches for the bottle
She don’t reach for me

Outtro:

Till she reaches for the bottle
She don’t reach for me
