They said you were a loser
When I met you
Never stayed with anyone for very long
They said I'd never hold you
And I guess they knew
There'd be something else
Beside you off and on
I love you
For our four-year-old was such a gift
And two little arms
Around your neck so tight
But a poor half glass of whiskey
Gave a better lift
And the bottle by your pillow
Made your night
I thought that I could make
A better man of you
But changes just don't happen overnight
You asked of us so many things
We couldn't do
And you just never let that bottle
Out of sight
There's not a thing on earth
That we can do
To make you stay
But I know every time you touched the bottle
You hear my voice
But see her face
Every single time
Every time you opened up the bottle
You hear my voice
And see her face
Every single time
Every time you opened up the bottle
The bottle
