As I drink my way through another day
As if it will stop my heartaches
But as I reach out for that bottle
All that hurt just started pouring in
And my mind gets filled with sorrow with every drink
I come here each day and sit on the same bar stool
start talking about my past heartaches as if there's no tomorrow
The bartender here has learned to know me
But I can't even tell you his name
Yet he seems to listen to every word I have to say
But As I gaze up in the mirror
There's that old friend that I once knew
But now his brown hair has turned to silver
And his face has aged with time
He's that man I used to look up to
but I gave up on him along the way
(Chorus)
He would tell me son you'll not find the answer in the bottom of the bottle
Just let go of your past
move on to a new tomorrow
And wake up to a better day
Deep in my mind I know he never left me, and tried to help me along the way
In our eyes we shared the sorrow
And we let go of ourselves
The man in the mirror is not a stranger we are one and the same.
So together we'll fight that bottle
And begin a new day
