Song Description

Turning to drink when a relationship flounders

Lyrics

BOTTOM OF THE GLASS

Say if you want me to stay
Whisper no if you need me to go
Hold me tight if you need me tonight
Turn away if you don?t want to know

Cos I?ve forgotten what I?m thinking
I?m not sleeping but I?m drinking
And as sure as hell I?m sinking to the bottom of the glass
And there can be no doubting
That my heart and head are pounding
And as sure as hell I?m drowning at the bottom of the glass

Talk if you want me to walk
Make no sound if you want me around
Smile and I?ll stay for a while
Cry and I?ll head out of town

Cos I?m hoping and I?m praying
I?m not leaving but I?m staying
And as sure as hell I?m straying to the bottom of the glass
And there?s really no confusing
If I?m winning or I?m losing
That as sure as hell I?m choosing the bottom of the glass

With the demon alcohol on my lips
The simplest protocol just slips
Away, to stay at the bottom of the glass

Cos I?m really undeciding
If it?s you I can confide in
And as sure as hell I?m hiding at the bottom of the glass
And with all defences lowering
As the drinks just keep on flowing
There?s nothing quite as sobering as the bottom of the glass
