(Verse)
|
I don¡¯t remember a smile
|
No kind words were spoke
|
Just an ashtray full of sin
|
Shattered glass from a bottle broke
|
|
(Verse)
|
Too young to know this pain
|
But there¡¯s nowhere to hide
|
I probably could¡¯ve run
|
But I stood by my momma¡¯s side
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
When he put the bottle down
|
There was silence in the air
|
You could see his eyes turn black
|
He drank the devil¡¯s blood I swear
|
|
(Chorus)
|
This prison was our home
|
There were no angels to be found
|
And I would pray to God
|
For him to put the bottle down
|
|
(Verse)
|
When you¡¯re young you don¡¯t know heck
|
But it don¡¯t take long to learn
|
He was supposed to keep us safe
|
We got tortured in return
|
|
(Verse)
|
And I still wear these scars
|
And time can¡¯t heal
|
And your apology
|
It won¡¯t change the way I feel
|
|
(Pre-Chorus)
|
When he put the bottle down
|
There was silence in the air
|
You could see his eyes turn black
|
He drank the devil¡¯s blood I swear
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And this prison was our home
|
There were no angels to be found
|
And I would pray to God
|
For him to put the bottle down
|
|
(Verse)
|
The whiskey finally took his life
|
Stole his kids and his wife
|
He crossed over in his sleep
|
And there was no one there to weep
|
|
(Verse)
|
I had to put a bottle down
|
Convince myself to say goodbye
|
¡®In loving memory you¡¯ll be missed¡¯
|
I curse this stone caught with a lie
|
|
(Chorus 2)
|
And his prison¡¯s now your home
|
Fallen angels all around
|
At least I don¡¯t have to pray
|
For him to put the bottle down
|
