Lyrics
I heard that you've been doing well
I've heard that you've been doing well
You know it seems like yesterday
Reflecting on the past, it feels like a short time ago
That we let this turn, from heaven into hell
Our relationship has deteriorated from something beautiful to painful
You know I've never been one to pray
I'm not accustomed to praying
But lately, I've been searching for salvation in a bottle
Seeking solace or redemption through alcohol
But I ain't found nothing there but misery
Yet finding only unhappiness in that escape
I've been down upon my knees trying to taste your memory
Kneeling down, trying to relive moments of our past
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Expressing the pain of your absence, swearing to God
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Reiterating the anguish of your absence and its impact on me
I swear to God (hey!)
A fervent declaration, perhaps emphasizing the intensity of emotions
I swear to God
Reaffirming a solemn promise or statement made to God
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Reiterating the pain and its effect on the speaker
I heard that you found somebody else
Learning that you've moved on with someone else
Does he love you like I do?
Questioning if the new person loves you as much as I do
I pretend it don't hurt, but I'm lying to myself
Suppressing the pain, but acknowledging self-deception
You know I'm lost now without you
Feeling lost and incomplete without you
But lately, I've been searching for salvation in a bottle
Continuing the search for comfort in alcohol
But I ain't found nothing there but misery
Experiencing only misery instead of relief
I've been down upon my knees trying to taste your memory
Trying to relive the past through memories
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Expressing the deep pain caused by your absence
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Repeating the impact of your absence on me
I swear to God (hey!)
Emphasizing the sincerity and intensity of the statement
I swear to God
Reaffirming the earnestness of the declaration to God
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Reiterating the pain and its effect on the speaker
But I need your holy loving
Expressing a need for genuine and spiritual love
I need your healing hands tonight
Seeking healing and comfort in your presence tonight
I, I need it all or nothing
Desiring completeness, not settling for anything less
Oh-oh, show me the light
Pleading for guidance and understanding
'Cause lately I've been searching for salvation in a bottle
Continuing the search for solace in alcohol
But I ain't found nothing there but misery
Finding only misery instead of the sought-after relief
I've been down upon my knees trying to taste your memory
Revisiting moments of the past in an attempt to connect
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Expressing the persistent pain caused by your absence
I swear to God (hey!)
Emphasizing the sincerity and intensity of the statement
I swear to God
Reaffirming the earnestness of the declaration to God
But you're gone and I swear to God it's killing me
Reiterating the pain and its effect on the speaker
