Let Me
DUNN.cruel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
Well, I'm hurtin' in old familiar ways
Tonight the bottle let me down
It let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Yeah, Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the bottle let me down
The alcohol failed to numb the pain of missing you
It let your memory come around
Drinking made me think of you again
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Alcohol was my only comfort, but it's not enough anymore
Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
I always leave the bar when it closes
Not feeling any pain at closing time
I usually don't feel any emotional pain after drinking
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
On this particular night, I couldn't drink enough to forget you
I can't drink enough to keep you off my mind
No amount of alcohol can help me stop thinking about you
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
Alcohol has always been my coping mechanism
And lately I've been turnin' every day
Lately, I find myself drinking every day to try and forget you
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
Even drinking doesn't numb the pain like it used to
Well, I'm hurtin' in old familiar ways
I'm feeling the same old pain that I've always felt
Yeah, Tonight the bottle let me down
Drinking didn't help me forget you tonight
