Standing just in front of me.
Helping to forget about the past
is a empty long neck bottle
made of darkly shaded glass

it’s empty just like I feel
it’s dark just like my heart
just sitting there on the bar
watching me fall apart

it’s just an old beer bottle
it ain’t no crystal ball
I keep looking to it for answers
but I’m finding none at all
I want it to drown the hurt
and tell me how to get her back
but there’s no help from the bottle
made of darkly shaded glass. 2) only love could help with that.

Standing by what’s left of me
she whispers, “sorry ‘bout the fight”
and when I look into her teary eyes
she says “come back home tonight”
she asks. “Will you forgive me”?
I got angry way to fast
I thought you might wanna hold me
instead of darkly shaded glass.

“Standing by what’s left of me,
my baby holds me tight
whispering in my ear
sorry ‘bout the fight
you’ve been here long enough
drinking slow and fast
but for now lets say goodbye
to your darkly shaded glass”
