Lyrics

I've been waking up shaking, and the bottles are gone

I wake up trembling, and the alcohol is no longer available

What will I do with my day, and how will I get along

Contemplating how to spend the day without alcohol and coping with life

I need a replacement for the habit I have

Seeking a substitute for the addictive behavior

I just need to get something, I can't live in the past

Expressing a need to find something new, emphasizing the necessity to move forward


The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away

Describing an intensifying desire for the addictive substance when away from it

The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray

Highlighting the increasing emotional pain with each instance of betraying the bottle


What looks like it's harmless, is rotten inside

Warning about the deceptive nature of seemingly harmless things, indicating inner decay

What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die

Cautioning that ignorance may not cause harm immediately but can have consequences in the end

I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise

Reflecting on the misconception that growing up guarantees wisdom

But I've been living in a nightmare behind a party disguise

Revealing a life of suffering masked by a façade of celebration


The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away

Reiteration of the growing desire for the addictive substance during its absence

The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray

Emphasizing the deepening emotional pain caused by betraying the bottle


Just take a drink and you will find yourself back where you started

Suggesting that taking a drink leads back to the starting point

Temptation is the hardest thing, just push it all away

Describing temptation as a challenging force that should be resisted

Once you take the first step, there'll be no more turning back

Warning about the irreversible consequences once the first step towards addiction is taken


Just take a look at how far you progressed to be sober

Encouraging self-reflection on progress made in staying sober

Lose faith in yourself, off the wagon you will fall

Cautioning against losing faith, as it may lead to a relapse into destructive habits

Staying clean and sober is the only way to go

Advocating for the importance of maintaining a clean and sober lifestyle


What looks like it's harmless, is rotten inside

Reiterating the deceptive nature of seemingly harmless things, underscoring internal decay

What you don't know might not hurt you until after you die

Repeating the idea that lack of awareness may lead to delayed consequences, even death

I've always thought when you grow up somehow you get wise

Expressing disillusionment with the belief that wisdom comes automatically with age

But I've been living in a nightmare behind a party disguise

Unveiling the nightmare of living behind a mask of celebration and festivity


The craving grows stronger the longer I'm away

Restating the increasing desire for the addictive substance during its absence

The pain cuts deeper each bottle I betray

Reiterating the heightened emotional pain caused by betraying the bottle
