Staring Back from Bottle Collection by Jenna Rice

How many people will walk away,
Before you understand why they never stay?
The truth can’t compete with the story that you weave,
‘Cause it might take away the air you need to breathe.
Now you’re trapped in the web that you wove,
Tied up by the lines you wrote long ago.
Can’t you see the damage that you’ve done?
The twenty long years of hit and runs.

Chorus:
They say that you’re not gonna change
Until you can’t find anyone else to blame.
But someday you’ll drink to the bottom of your glass
And all you’ll see is your reflection staring back.

Some of us cry as we watch it all burn down,
Some of us deny, and some of us leave town.
Everything has changed except for you,
Isn’t there somewhere a whispering of truth?

Chorus

I lay awake and listen to the rain
And wonder if somewhere you’re doing the same.
And maybe the day that you wake up and see,
Will also be the day I can finally get to sleep.
