Bottom of the Bottle (Is Where She Let Go)

(Verse 1)

She stood by me longer than she should’ve stayed,

Through the broken glass and the bills I never paid.

I’d say, “I’m sorry,” then pour another round,

While she stared out the window, watchin’ love run down.

(Chorus)

And at the bottom of the bottle is where she let go,

I was too far gone to even know.

Thought I had time to change, but time don’t wait,

Now her goodbye echoes off my front gate.

She walked away slow, but I sank real low —

At the bottom of the bottle, is where she let go.

(Verse 2)

I missed her birthday, and that church dress she wore,

Traded dinner and dancing for the liquor store.

She begged me to be the man I used to be,

But the mirror held a stranger she couldn’t set free.

(Chorus)

And at the bottom of the bottle is where she let go,

She packed up her heart and left it in the snow.

I thought love could outlast the nights I lost,

But you can’t buy back trust at that kind of cost.

She gave me her soul — I gave her sorrow,

At the bottom of the bottle, is where she let go.

(Bridge)

Now it’s just me and these walls,

Her perfume still lingers in the hall.

She wanted forever — I gave her doubt,

And now I know what “too late” is all about…

(Final Chorus)

At the bottom of the bottle, I watched her walk away,

Now I drink just to forget that day.

If I could crawl back up, I swear I’d try,

But this old whiskey’s better at goodbye.

She loved me through hell, but I let it show —

At the bottom of the bottle… is where she let go.

(Outro)

Yeah, at the bottom of the bottle… is where she let go.
