Empty as a Bottle

Something Different

I lie to myself so I ain’t got to lie to you 
But all men lie and you know it’s true
So I tell myself all the things I need to hear
And the more I repeat the lies the more it becomes clear
You were an empty bottle and easy as a dram
And you were never worth a damn

Time is like a river but the river’s run dry
It can only be filled with the tears that you cry
And I would never cry over you
Look in the sky, clouds passing by have stolen all the blue
There’s nothing blue left but me when I think of you
And the clouds will soon steal that too

I lie to myself so I ain’t got to lie to you 
But all men lie and you know it’s true
So I tell myself all the things I need to hear
And the more I repeat the lies the more it becomes clear
You were an empty bottle and easy as a dram
And you were never worth a damn

My favorite jacket still smells of stale perfume
I hope it acts like you and goes away soon
If you ever need something ask someone who cares
Who cares? I don’t know a person who would dare
You’re a waste of time and space and other stuff too
You were wasted on me, I was wasted on you

I lie to myself so I ain’t got to lie to you 
But all men lie and you know it’s true
So I tell myself all the things I need to hear
And the more I repeat the lies the more it becomes clear
Our love was an empty bottle and easy as a dram
And our love were never worth a damn

We were an empty bottle easy as a dram
And we were never worth a damn
