the bottom

Chris Stapleton

Love is a mystery
It s a tricky thing
It s more than a word
More than a ring
When the right thing turns to wrong
Turns into a lonesome song
And everybody knows how it goes when it does

The bottle holds the whiskey
The whiskey holds the man
The man holds the bottle when it s all that s left
And the left hand lights what the right hand holds
The smoke can t hide what the heart regrets
Cause the heart holds the memory
And the memory holds th? past
And the past holds the woman
At the bottom of th? glass
So I don t have a problem
If I don t see the bottom

I played it all over
Over in my mind
I m lookin for the reasons
I just can t find
Wish I knew what I could blame
Without a moment I could name
I don t have a thing that I recall

The bottle holds the whiskey
The whiskey holds the man
The man holds the bottle when it s all that s left
And the left hand lights what the right hand holds
The smoke can t hide what the heart regrets
Cause the heart holds the memory
And the memory holds the past
And the past holds the woman
At the bottom of the glass
So I don t have a problem
If I don t see the bottom

Cause the heart holds the memory
And the memory holds the past
And the past holds the woman
At the bottom of the glass
So I don t have a problem
If I don t see the bottom

Oh, the hurt s holdin me
And I m holdin on
To a hundred-proof truth
And a hope that s long gone
So I don t have a problem
If I don t see the bottom
