He said I'm not gonna lie to you
As you look me in the eye
But I'm about two dollars short
I said this cheap stuff's
gonna be the death of you
Cause I handed him a five
He said sometimes the price
Just ain't worth staying alive
No, the bottle won't kill you
It's the same with fools like us,
Unspoken words, broken dreams
and anger and foolish pride
No, the bottle won't kill you,
On the shelf behind the counter,
But a screw the cap, take a drink,
One emptied of its poison,
it can shatter like your dreams
One dropped into the gutter
Just another broken thing
No, the bottle won't kill you
It's the same with fools like us
No, the bottle won't kill you
it lets me fool myself, the truth is,
I just don't want to know
how much that I've got left.
Cause it hides the truth till it's too late
And it always leaves you want more
than the stuff it holds inside
No, the bottle won't kill you
It's the same with fools like us,
Unspoken words, broken dreams
and anger and foolish pride
No, the bottle won't kill you,
No, the bottle won't kill you,
