[Verse] She grew up in a house full of shadows and pain Parents with bottles and hearts full of rain Saw her dreams shatter in glasses of gin Guarded her heart but let someone in [Verse 2] He had a smile that could light up the night But his eyes had a thirst she knew wasn't right She hoped he could see past the brew To the dreams that were hiding in view [Chorus] I didn't say I wouldn't date you I said I wouldn't date someone who drinks Is it hard to quit? Can you change what you think? Heart torn but heart strong pushing through [Verse 3] She stood there with tears welling up in her eyes Could he leave the bottles and banish the lies? He held her close but the whiskey was near Could he make the choice and fight off the fear? [Bridge] In a world that’s always hazy and unclear Sometimes it takes courage just to steer She asked for a love that was strong and was pure Could he give it up and could he endure? [Chorus] I didn't say I wouldn't date you I said I wouldn't date someone who drinks Is it hard to quit? Can you change what you think? Heart torn but heart strong pushing through
