Found you by the riverside
Bag of bones and an empty bottle of beer
You swore you wouldn't get that high
But you left me alone, left me here
We used to play in the sun
Holding hands all night long
Now you'll never know what you meant to me
Empty bottle at my feet
If you only knew
What I had to do
Every time you slipped and fell back into
That place where love couldn't grow
That space where you had to know
You were so bottled up
Found you by your beside
Blanket gone and blood on the mirror
You swore to God that you loved this world
As you drifted away
We used to roll all night long
Radio on singing along
Now you'll never know what you meant to me
Broken bottle at my feet
If you only knew
What I had to do
Every time you slipped and fell back into
That place where love couldn't grow
That space where you had to know
You were so bottled up
