Lyrics
The Bottle
One too many drinks, one too many nights
she was all alone
One too many promises, one too many heartaches
with no one home
She tried her best to help me
showed me there's a way to be free
One too many alibis, one too many mornings
made a loser out of me
Lying in her arms was the finest place on earth
I've ever been
Never had to wonder, certain our love
would never end
The bottle got between us
tore apart our eternity
One too many last calls, one too many times
led to this reality
The bottle took another man to hell
Broke another woman's heart as well
In between, shattered dreams
Tears that will never dry
The bottle took another man to hell
Often I think about how things might have ended
without the curse
She gave all she had to give, love was not enough
to quench my thirst
Tormented by the memory of all the grief
she had to endure
Taunted by the loneliness, humbled by my shame
For the harm I did to her
The bottle took another man to hell
Broke another woman's heart as well
In between, shattered dreams
Tears that will never dry
The bottle took another man to hell
The bottle took another man... to Hell
