Bottom of the Bottle--Male lead

V1
Staring at the bottle of whiskey
It’s asking, will I give in
Your trust will be forgotten if I swallow
And it’s likely to be our end
I can feel those sad tears fallin’
Waiting for me at the bottom of the bottle
CH
I know what it takes to restore your faith in me
I want so bad to be the man you need
Gotta get ahold of my pain
I don’t want to hurt you again
I’m walking away from the bottom of the bottle
V2
That shot glass looks so inviting
liquid courage calling my name
The sweet sound of the serenity prayer
Keeps on echoing in my brain
Now watch me, as I walk out that door
Leaving behind... the bottom of the bottle
CH
I know what it takes to restore your faith in me
I want so bad to be the man you need
Now I got a hold of my pain
I ain’t gonna hurt you again
I’m walking away from the bottom of the bottle
