There's a knot in my throat that I can't swallow
When I think about you
You're probably driving back right now
Back to your hotel room and now
Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there
And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares
But the bottles will break
But the bottles will break
Oh, the bottles will break
How long will it take?
You have a picture of your daughter in your wallet
'Cuz you're always thinking about her
You're wondering how you got so far down
You used to be so sure and now
Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there
And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares
But the bottles will break
But the bottles will break
Oh, the bottles will break
How long will it take?
I've got news for you, brother
It's a long way up
I've got news for you, brother
Freedom is waiting at the top
I've got news for you, brother
It's an easy coast down, but
A coward never forgets the way that he drowns
Because he does it to himself, himself
You may think that I don't like you, you may think that I don't know
The things that you think about and do when you are alone
But you can trust me when I say I can feel your broken heart
And I know you feel overwhelmed and you don't know where to start
But it starts with you, with you
And there's a knot in your throat that you can't swallow
And now you don't know what to do
Your angel wings are probably too big for
Your little hotel room and now
Your face is blank, your mind is racing 'till you get there
And the summer rain and beers are drowning out your nightmares
But the bottles will break
But the bottles will break
Oh, the bottles will break
How long will you take?
