Lyrics

The house gets louder when the sun goes down
I learned to read the way the door would close
How hard it hit meant how the night would go
Keys in the lock felt like a warning sign
I'd hold my breath and try to stay quiet
The smell would hit before you said a word
Like something sharp I never could ignore
I'd watch your hands, I'd watch your face
Trying to guess what version I'd get
I stayed in my room
But the walls were thin
Every word cut through
Like I was in it
I learned real young
How to disappear
Make myself small
So you wouldn't hear
When the bottle talks
You don't sound like you
Every word you throw
Feels like it's the truth
I don't know which one
I'm supposed to trust
The one who tucks me in
Or the one who erupts
You say you're sorry
Like it fixes it
Like I forget
Everything you did
But I remember
Every broken night
Every slammed door
Every drunken fight
I counted seconds
Between the sounds
Waiting to hear
If things calmed down
Sometimes it did
Sometimes it didn't
I learned not to ask
I learned not to mention
I kept my shoes by the side of my bed
Just in case I had to leave again
I packed my things in a plastic bag
Like running away was a skill I had
I told my friends that everything was fine
That you were just "tired" all the time
I got real good at telling those lies
Smiling through it with empty eyes
When the bottle talks
You don't sound like you
Every word you throw
Feels like it's the truth
I don't know which one
I'm supposed to trust
The one who says "I love you"
Or the one who erupts
You say you're sorry
Like it fixes it
Like I forget
Everything you did
But I remember
I always did
I used to wait
For you to change
Like love could wash away
All the pain
But growing up
Means seeing it clear
You were never leaving it
It was always here
I don't hate you
I just don't understand
How something in a bottle
Could take you from me like that
The house is quiet now
But it still feels loud
Even when you're sober
I still hear it somehow
When the bottle talked
It took everything
And I was just a kid
Caught in between
