All poured out
Count up the bottles
Stack 'em up by 10
Sour taste in my mouth
Trying to swallow
Striking out again
I heard the shouts, saw the hazard signs
Writing on the wall, dark as sacred wine
Winner takes it all; but you were my truth,
On you, on you i’d stake my life
Tell me that you love me
Even as you’re walking away
Nothing left to do, clear as 200 proof
I get it, you’ve been hurt too
Can you tell?
This isn’t the first time we’ve been round the bend
Ever since I was young,
Lighting the sky up until you say when
Amber in my veins, from my eyes, my skin
Gave up every drop to keep you within
Emptied & spent, no one ever says
What comes after the end
Tell me that you love me
Even as you’re walking away
Nothing left to do, clear as 200 proof
I get it, you’ve been hurt too
The cut is getting close now
I think i need to sit down
Can we just
count it out
Wings are made to fly free
But obvious ain’t easy
When it's last call
closing
Tell me that you love me
Even as you’re walking away
Nothing left to do, clear as 200 proof
i get it, you’ve been hurt too
i get it, yeah I do
