Lyrics
So many days lost in a bottle
Tryin' to drown old memories.
The seat beside me still sits empty;
Just can't forget what used to be.
(Chrous)
She's got a life to live,
now why can't I have mine?
I need a way to help me find
A way to leave it all far behind me,
Way behind me.
A way to leave it all far behind me, Way behind me.
If people change, why ain't I changin'?
If life goes on, why am I still here?
If this chapter's over, why is every page I turn
Filled with a picture crystal clear?
(Chorus)
It's time I crawled out of this bottle,
Wait for the haze to clear and see
Can I escape this liquid prison I've been in
And find a way to be set free?
(Chorus)
She's got a life to live, it's time that I found mine.
Gonna look inside myself and find
A way to leave it all far behind me.
She's got a life to live, now why can't I find mine?
Gonna look inside myself and find
A way to leave it all far behind me.
