You had hiding places that you thought i’d never find

In the closet, in the dresser, by the bushes right outside if it was t

vodka it was whiskey, wasn’t whiskey it was wine

You said it’s not a problem, so the problem became mine

I used to dread the sight of empty bottles sitting on the counter in the kitchen

but this time it was different

Helping you to bed and cleaning up your mess became our 2am tradition

Now i don’t have to fix it

When you pour ‘em down the drain

I see you taking back what’s yours

So i don’t mind these empty bottles anymore

I took all your sorry’s with a grain of salt

But i never left your side cuz i know

it ain’t all your fault

You’re just trying to make the most of

the cards that you’ve been dealt

As long as i’m around, you won’t do it by yourself

I used to dread the sight of empty bottles sitting on the counter in the kitchen

but this time it was different

I used to smell it on your breath and talk you off the edge and pray to God you’d listen

Now i don’t have to fix it

When you pour ‘em down the drain

It’s like the sun after the storm

So i don’t mind these empty bottles anymore

I know it’s just the start of a long road

But for the first time in a long time i feel hope

I used to dread the sight of empty bottles sitting on the counter in the kitchen

but this time it was different

You used to search in bars and empty rooms to find the part of you you thought was missing

And now you’re finally living

When you pour ‘em down the drain

I see who you were before

So i don’t mind these empty bottles anymore

Yeah you may have lost some battles

But you’ve almost won the war

So i don’t mind these empty bottles anymore
