The Bridge and the bottle Lyrics

Woke up on a bridge under a pale gray sky

Head pounding hard I can't tell you why

The sun's creeping in mocking my state

Naked and raw I'm a victim of fate

Stumbled in shadows where my soul used to tread

The thief wasn't a man but a bottle instead

It drained every dream left me hollow inside

On this cold concrete bridge there's no place to hide

Oh the bottle took it all my pride my grace

Left me stranded and broken in this bitter place

It robbed me of love my time my name

Now I'm just a stranger playing a losing game

Pockets turned out nothing left to my name

Every ounce of my life burned up in the flame

I chased every high but I fell to the ground

With the echoes of laughter no solace to be found

Memories blurred like smoke in the air

Every sip a lie every promise unfair

I traded my soul for a fleeting embrace

Now the mirror reflects just a hollowed-out face

Oh the bottle took it all my pride my grace

Left me stranded and broken in this bitter place

It robbed me of love my time my name

Now I'm just a stranger playing a losing game

There's a war inside a storm in my chest

Voices whispering lies never letting me rest

Every silence is loud every shadow a fight

Drowning in darkness though I'm craving the light

The shame weighs heavy it clings to my skin

A reminder of battles I'll never quite win

I'm a stranger to peace a captive of doubt

Screaming for help but no words come out

Oh the bottle took it all my pride my grace

Left me stranded and broken in this bitter place

It robbed me of love my time my name

Now I'm just a stranger playing a losing game

I see the thief now staring back at me

Through the glass in my hand it's my destiny

But I can't let it win can't let it decide

I'll reclaim my life take back my pride

So here on this bridge I'll leave it behind

The poison the pain the chains on my mind

The thief may have robbed me but it won't keep my soul

I'll rise from this wreckage and make myself whole
