Empty Bottle
Chris Holsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I wanted you do to
And I should've done it too
I don't give a fuck 'bout that
Sure don't give a fuck 'bout that
Though I'm doing just fine
I know that I'd be lying
If I said I didn't mind
Wasn't going to hurt like hell
I can feel every heartbeat on your skin
Your best life now with him
The way that we used to do
In time your face will fade away
Right now I'm going to drink away the pain
Yeah, right now
It's just so hard to swallow
And my heart's hollow
Knowing you're with someone else
When it's just me and myself and this empty bottle
Drowning the sorrow
But I know that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle
Yeah, I'm glad you're moving on
You were always that strong
I'm just better off alone
But still there will be days like this
When it's going to hurt I guess
Everybody's got a past
Our love was made of glass
It was never meant to last
Even though it hurts like hell
It's good to see you smile again
In time your face will fade away
But right now I'm going to drink away the pain
Yeah, right now
It's just so hard to swallow
And my heart's hollow
Knowing you're with someone else
When it's just me and myself and this empty bottle
Drowning the sorrow
But I know that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle
Picking up the pieces slowly, starting to heal
Letting go of something that I know is not real
And if you saw me with some else would you feel what I feel
Would you feel what I feel
Should I fell what I feel
So hard to swallow
And my heart's hollow
Knowing you're with someone else
When it's just me and myself and this empty bottle
Drowning the sorrow
But I know that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle
Drowning the sorrow
But I know that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle

Overall, "Empty Bottle" captures the conflicting emotions of heartbreak and the need to self-soothe during a difficult period of transition after a breakup. It depicts the process of trying to move on, recognizing the pain, and finding hope for the future.
Line by Line Meaning
I heard you met somebody new
I found out that you have moved on and started dating someone else
Like I wanted you do to
Just like I wanted you to do, to find happiness with someone else
And I should've done it too
I should have also moved on and found someone new
I don't give a fuck 'bout that
I don't care about that anymore
Sure don't give a fuck 'bout that
I really don't care about that at all
Though I'm doing just fine
Although I may appear to be fine
I know that I'd be lying
I know deep down that I would be lying
If I said I didn't mind
If I claimed that it didn't bother me
Seeing you with someone else
Seeing you together with another person
Wasn't going to hurt like hell
Wasn't going to cause such intense emotional pain
I can feel every heartbeat on your skin
I can still recall and sense every intimate moment we shared
Your best life now with him
You are now living your best life with the new person you're with
The way that we used to do
The way we used to live and love each other
In time your face will fade away
Over time, memories of your face will become less vivid
Right now I'm going to drink away the pain
Currently, I am choosing to numb myself with alcohol to escape the pain
It's just so hard to swallow
It's incredibly difficult to accept
And my heart's hollow
My heart feels empty and hollow
Knowing you're with someone else
Knowing that you are now in a relationship with another person
When it's just me and myself and this empty bottle
When I am left alone with my thoughts and this bottle of alcohol as my only company
Drowning the sorrow
Using alcohol to drown out the pain and sadness
But I know that tomorrow
But I am aware that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
I will be okay again
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle
At the moment, it's just me alone with my thoughts and this bottle of alcohol
Yeah, I'm glad you're moving on
Yes, I'm happy that you are able to move on
You were always that strong
You have always been strong in handling difficult situations
I'm just better off alone
I am better off being alone
But still there will be days like this
However, there will still be days when I feel this way
When it's going to hurt I guess
When it's going to be painful, I suppose
Everybody's got a past
Everyone has a history
Our love was made of glass
Our love was fragile, easily broken
It was never meant to last
It was never meant to endure for a long time
Even though it hurts like hell
Despite the fact that it hurts immensely
It's good to see you smile again
It's heartening to witness you smiling once more
Picking up the pieces slowly, starting to heal
Gradually recovering and beginning to mend the broken parts of myself
Letting go of something that I know is not real
Releasing something that I know was not genuine or lasting
And if you saw me with some else would you feel what I feel
And if you were to see me with someone else, would you experience the same emotions I do
Would you feel what I feel
Would you empathize with the emotions I'm going through
Should I fell what I feel
Should I allow myself to feel the emotions I have
So hard to swallow
Extremely difficult to accept
And my heart's hollow
My heart feels empty and devoid of meaning
Knowing you're with someone else
Being aware that you are now involved with another person
When it's just me and myself and this empty bottle
When I am alone with my thoughts and this bottle of alcohol, finding solace
Drowning the sorrow
Using alcohol as a means to escape and numb the pain
But I know that tomorrow
However, I am aware that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
I will be okay once more
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle
Currently, it's just me alone with my thoughts and this bottle of alcohol
Drowning the sorrow
Using alcohol as a means to drown out the pain and sadness
But I know that tomorrow
But I am aware that tomorrow
I'll be doing fine again
I will be okay once more
For now it's me and myself and this empty bottle
At the moment, it's just me alone with my thoughts and this bottle of alcohol
