Verse 1 I poured another shot to calm the shaking in my chest, Told myself that I’d be braver if I drowned the fear with rest. There was someone I was meant to meet, a light I hoped to find, But the bottle pulled me closer than the dream I left behind. Pre-Chorus And I swore it’s just one drink, Just a spark to make me think I could stand tall for once… Chorus But the whiskey took the wheel, And the night began to steal Every promise that I meant to keep. I lost her somewhere on the way, In the shadows where I strayed, And I woke up with nothing left to say. Sorry, Mama— I swear I never meant to fall this far. Sorry, Mama— I swear I never meant to fall this far. Verse 2 I walked past every bar like they were calling out my name, Told myself I’d only listen, but I followed just the same. Somewhere between the laughter and the lies I tried to sell, I forgot the girl I meant to meet and drifted deeper into hell. Pre-Chorus And I swore it’s just one drink, Just a spark to make me think I could stand tall for once… Chorus But the whiskey took the wheel, And the night began to steal Every promise that I meant to keep. I lost her somewhere on the way, In the shadows where I strayed, And I woke up with nothing left to say. Sorry, Mama— I swear I never meant to fall this far. Sorry, Mama— I swear I never meant to fall this far. Bridge If you could see the man I tried to be, You’d know this fire wasn’t meant to burn me. I keep on running from the truth I know: You can’t fix a broken heart with another swallow. Final Chorus ’Cause the whiskey took the wheel, And the pieces that I feel Aren’t the ones I ever meant to break. She’s a ghost now in my mind, And I wish I could rewind, But the past don’t ever give you back the time. Sorry, Mama— I’m trying to find my way out of the dark. Sorry, Mama— I never meant to fall this far. Sorry, Mama— I swear I never meant to fall this far. Sorry, Mama— I swear I never meant to fall this far.
