Rock Bottom


So I wake up, minding my own business 'Till I see a dead body in the other room Never mind, that's just you And you start shooting at me Your words are like poison For some reason I keep on drinkin' 'Till my face turns blue Time keeps on tickin' And my head keeps on spinnin' When are you gonna stop You say you've hit rock bottom But you do nothing to reach the top So I'm gone for ten minutes And I find ten missed calls Each one from you But do you really have anything to say You don't have a clue of what you're doing Your mind's in another place I've gotta ask the question How long do you wanna live this way? Time keeps on tickin' And my head keeps on spinnin' When are you gonna stop You say you've hit rock bottom But you do nothing to reach the top Take those bottles, throw 'em out the window Take those memories, shove' em down the drain I never did anything wrong to you For you to cause me all this pain
