(rap remix intro)
i may not always see you
i may not always talk to you
but i still remember who you were
and i believe in who you can be, listen.
he walks alone with a broken heart
askin why he just fell apart
he doesn’t know where the road may turn
only thinks about the past he burns
he walks around with a smile each day
but it fades when they turn away
people think that they know him well
but this is based on what others tell.
(chorus)
look at him, tell me what do you see
i see a soul trapped in misery
waitin for the day when this will all end
a glass bottle his only friend
he never listens to the words you say
tells you to get up and walk away
it’s not long then he’s at it again
a glass bottle his only friend.
the phone rings, he’s callin for you
askin help me what should i do
listen to me, pay close attention
instead he listens to his only friend
the days are dark and so full of pain
too many voices drive him insane
and as a tear slowly falls from his eye
he wants to end it and say goodbye.
(chorus)
a glass bottle, his only friend
when will it end, tell me when will it end
a glass bottle, his only friend
when will it end, tell me when will it end
(rap remix)
he’s sittin in his room
locked away from the world
doesn’t care about his life
or his beautiful girl
he’s got smoke for lungs, alcohol for veins
when the heart keeps drownin
not much remains.
your wife passed away
and it’s been hard ever since
but with the years that have passed
cmon you need to get the hint
i wanna pull you off that bed
throw you down to the floor
smack you a few times
then kick your ass out the door.
you can’t keep livin your life like this
you can’t keep thinkin that you can’t resist
mother, father, nephew, niece
granddaughter, we miss
seein the real you only when we reminisce.
im not gonna give up
til you take it like a man
i know it’s real hard but i believe you can
so many people are surprised
i never touched a can
well if you’re seein where i come from
then i hope you understand.
(chorus)
