[Intro]
Yeah
Bottle on the nightstand
Bible on the floor
She said pick one
[Verse 1]
Liquor should've killed me
Label said it clear
Warning on the back
I read it like a dare
Brown in the glass
Black in my lungs
Arguing with God
With a barrel on my tongue
She walked in soft
Like mercy with a face
Cross on her chain
Tears smearing her mascara chased
"Put it down, please"
Voice shaking, hands too
Pulled the poison from my grip
Like it was bullet number two
[Chorus]
Liquor should've killed me
But she saved me
Pulled me from the fire
Just to cage me
Built me back, piece by piece
Then she changed me
Held my heart like a glass
Just to break me
Liquor should've killed me
But she saved me
Pulled me from the edge
Just to blame me
Kissed my scars, fixed my veins
Then erased me
Held my heart like a glass
Just to break me
[Verse 2]
First, she was a prayer
Then she was a rule
Turned my shot glass sermon
To a rehab of her choosing
Phone check, mood check
"Who you with, where you been?"
Traded in addiction
For a warden in my skin
"You owe me your life"
She would whisper when we’d fight
Every sober day I had
She engraved it as her right
From the barstool to the church pew
To her throne
She ain't wanna heal me
She just wanted me her own
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Saved me from the bottle
To pour me in her mold
Different kind of drowning
Same water in my throat
[whispered vocals]
"Say thank you, say you’re nothing without me"
Same chain, different name
Still ain't free
[Chorus]
Liquor should've killed me
But she saved me
Pulled me from the fire
Just to cage me
Built me back, piece by piece
Then she changed me
Held my heart like a glass
Just to break me
[Chorus]
