Drink through another day

As I drink my way through another day

As if it will stop my heartaches

But as I reach out for that bottle

All that hurt just started pouring in

And my mind gets filled with sorrow with every drink

I come here each day and sit on the same bar stool

start talking about my past heartaches as if there's no tomorrow

The bartender here has learned to know me

But I can't even tell you his name

Yet he seems to listen to every word I have to say

But As I gaze up in the mirror

There's that old friend that I once knew

But now his brown hair has turned to silver

And his face has aged with time

He's that man I used to look up to

but I gave up on him along the way

(Chorus)

He would tell me son you'll not find the answer in the bottom of the bottle

Just let go of your past

move on to a new tomorrow

And wake up to a better day

Deep in my mind I know he never left me, and tried to help me along the way

In our eyes we shared the sorrow

And we let go of ourselves

The man in the mirror is not a stranger we are one and the same.

So together we'll fight that bottle

And begin a new day
