They said you were a loser

When I met you

Never stayed with anyone

For very long

They said I'd never hold you

And I guess they knew

There'd be something else

Beside you off and on

I love you for our four year old

Was such a gift

And two little arms

Around you neck so tight

But a four month glass of whiskey

Gave the best to you

And the bottle by your pillow

Made your night

I thought that I could

Make a better man of you

But changes just don't happen

Overnight

You asked of love so many things

We couldn't do

And you just never let

That bottle out of sight

There's not a thing on earth

That we can do to make you stay

But I know every time

We touched the bottom

Ya hear my voice but see her face

Every single time

Every time you opened up the bottle

Ya hear my voice and see her face

Every single time

Every time you opened up the bottle

The bottle.
