Lyrics

The truth was right there, but I looked away, not ready to go for a dive
My eyes could not see what my heart could not believe,
Couldn’t believe your love was a lie,
Well your mouth said the words I wanted to hear,
So I stayed on the surface for not to drown,
I got a glimpse, and I started to sink.
Your mask slipped, and you lost your crown

You set your hooks deep in my heart
Still blinded, I didn’t see
The real man concealed by the mask
You loved the bottle more than you love me

The reflection you see is practiced to hold, The mask, so that no-one can see
The darkness you hide, the darkness you seek, you loved the bottle more than you love me

My eyes can now see, my heart now believes
I was sinking, I could barely breathe
You cannot lose what you never had,
You loved the bottle more than you love me

Gotta pull myself up, no time for regret, gotta get out of this town
I’ll never let you back in, my heart will mend
You loved the bottle, and you never loved me
