From The Bottom

(album: Home Today - 2012)

I know how she feels at night standing all alone
Would you tell me what's real and right
'Cause I don't know anymore
And all this is starting to kill me inside
To see these walls are crashing down
The heartless acts and the selfish sounds
With all that trying, she stopped fighting

While darkness, darkness it took her away
Oh I tried, but I couldn't stop the pain

She likes to look at the bottle from the bottom
Every time she looks in the face of the bottle from the bottom
She sees a life that was so much different when she was a young girl
She could stand on top of the hill side screaming
To the world
To stop the curse
She begged and prayed that someday she'd see a change

She said I always knew the truth and never told anyone
I just closed my eyes and it was done
Now when the lights go out I see what going on
And with all that fighting, she stop trying
To get away from the terrible sounds
Of the heartbreaks
And earthquakes
Her life seemed so far away

She likes to look at the bottle from the bottom
Every time she looks in the face of the bottle from the bottom
She sees a life that was so much different when she was a young girl
She could stand on top of the hill side screaming
To the world
To stop the curse
She begged and prayed that someday she'd see a change

I know how she feels at night
Standing all alone
And I remember a dark September
Where they came and made her surrender
They took her to a place that we could never say

She likes to look at the bottle from the bottom
Every time she looks in the face of the bottle from the bottom
She sees a life that was so much different when she was a young girl
She could stand on top of the hill side screaming
To the world
To stop the curse
She begged and prayed that someday she'd see a change
