Bottom of the bottle

Intro – Spoken] Yeah… They say it takes the edge off, But nobody talks about what it takes with it. Mm. [Verse 1] I pour every night into glasses of regret, Drowning thoughts I’ve been dodging, the ones I ain’t faced yet. They say, “Just relax, it’s only a drink,” But it turns my silence into something that screams. I don’t drink to party, I drink to forget, Every promise I made that I haven’t kept. Every “I’m fine” I sold with a smile, While I’ve been falling apart for a while. I tell myself, “This the last one tonight,” But the mirror keeps lying straight to my eyes. I chase numb feelings, I run from the pain, Wake up worse every time that I fade. [Pre-Chorus] It starts as a fix, then it turns to a friend, Now it’s blowing my phone up like “just one again.” I swear I’m in control, but I’m losing the fight, Every bottle I beat comes back stronger at night. [Chorus] I’m at the bottom of the bottle again, Looking for peace in a poison I sip. I say I’m okay, but I’m breaking within, Trying to heal with the thing that’s killing me. I drown my demons just to see them swim, Every promise I break, I pretend I don’t care. I’m at the bottom of the bottle again, Wondering when I stopped wanting to live clear. [Verse 2] I miss the version of me before the glass, Before I learned how to erase my past. Now every memory tastes like shame, And every good night ends in pain. I hurt the people who tried to stay, Said “I got it,” then pushed them away. I don’t need help, I don’t need advice, But I need another drink just to sleep at night. I wake up shaking, heart racing fast, Trying to piece together what I did in the past. Apologies sent, but they bleed through the screen, When I keep choosing the bottle over peace. [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I’d stop when it started to show, When the nights got darker and my days felt low. Now I don’t recognize who I see, Just a shadow staring back at me. [Chorus] I’m at the bottom of the bottle again, Looking for love in a liquid lie. I say I’m okay, but I’m barely hanging in, Trying to feel alive just to survive. I drown my demons just to see them swim, Every step I take feels harder to stand. I’m at the bottom of the bottle again, With my future slipping through my hands. [Spoken – Low, Honest] I don’t even like the taste anymore… I just like the quiet. [Bridge] If I’m honest, I’m scared of being sober, Of feeling everything I tried to cover. But I’m more scared of staying this way, Losing myself a little more every day. I don’t want to die with a glass in my hand, Saying “one more drink” instead of “I am.” I don’t want my pain to be all that I’m known, I just want to feel something without feeling alone. [Final Chorus] I was at the bottom of the bottle again, But maybe this time I’m done digging in. I’m tired of running, tired of the fight, Tired of drowning just to survive the night. I know healing hurts, but so does the drink, Only one of them helps me breathe. I was at the bottom of the bottle again… But I don’t wanna live here, I don’t wanna live here anymore. [Outro – Soft] Yeah… This isn’t goodbye to the pain. It’s goodbye to pretending the bottle was ever th
