Message In the Bottle
He wonders why she left him
As he stumbles to the bed
He just needed to take a minute
Some time, to clear his head
When he got home, her clothes were gone

How could she leave this way?
He opens another bottle
And takes him a couple sips
He numbs the pain like everyday
As the whiskey crosses his lips
He says, "Why didn't she leave a message?"

"I didn't do anything wrong", he says
And then takes another drink
The message was in the bottle
He was just to blind to see
She begged him to stop drinking
But it wasn't meant to be
