Lyrics

Baby put the bottle down
 You don't need another one
 No, you don't need another one
 Girl, you don't need another one
 Why you taking all those pills?
 Don't you know that they will kill you?
 Don't you know that we all need you?
 Don't you know I need you still?
 I barely knew you back then
 But man, the things I remember it's all in my mind
 Tears on my face as I'm writing these lines
 To imagine a place, If I asked are you fine
 Didn't care, never talked, wasn't there, never called
 Then you were gone, only thing I recall
 Saw your girls face, no make-up
 No smile, no feelings, no heart
 She felt nothing at all
 Like, what could I say?
 How could I possibly say "It's okay"?
 How could I not feel this anger inside me
 I look at her now, and you made her this way
 When you drank all them pills, yeah I killed her
 Since then man I haven't seen the real her
 Screaming in her pillow could you tell me did you hear her?
 Even when she smiles, could you see that it still hurts
 They might say that it's wrong to be bitter
 But the more that she drank, the more she got sicker
 No better, she killing her liver
 You thought she'd be better but it's getting worst
 Hollow like the bottle she's holding
 She's trying to sleep, can't sleep to the morning
 Every day is another performance
 His pictures, memories, it's what she's been holding
 She's blaming herself for the reason you left
 You took every pills but she feels the effect
 Family is in pieces, your friends are a mess
 You left all your pain and you gave it to them
 What did you think that would happen
 Thought it'd be easy like she would move on
 Hang out with her friends like nothing is wrong
 They try to be strong but the moment you left
 She was already gone
 Baby put the bottle down
 I could hear you drowning now
 I could hear you crying now
 In your silence, I could hear you loud
 Why you taking all these pills?
 Don't you know that they can kill you?
 Don't you know that you can heal?
 Don't you know we need you still?
 Forgive me for my honesty
 Its a blessing and a curse
 Its a medicine that hurts
 Its the only thing that works
 Who could understand the things that you went trough?
 It hurts cause I never even get to
 Look at you in the eyes like "yeah brother I get you"
 And even shake you hand and say "don't let the stress get you"
 But you left scars that are here to stay
 So many stars used for you to stay
 So much pain that I see even to this day
 They think of you when it starts to rain
 Didn't know you was affecting me
 What if someone close to me
 Like, what if I was you and no one noticed me?
 Spending time alone, yeah
 I wonder who would wanna go broke with me
 To the girl still crying on her sheets
 I know you don't feel like it but know that you gotta eat
 I know you think you need to but you don't gotta drink
 Water's coming in but you don't gotta sink
 I know it's hard to breathe, you just need to want to
 Anything you need, babygirl I got you
 Tell me what it is, tell me what you feel
 Tell me you're alive, anything can heal
 Maybe I don't understand, guess I never will
 But if you're feeling broken now, I promise you can heal
 Promise you can make it out, you don't gotta be scared
 If you're feeling numb, I promise Ima' be there
 You don't gotta figure it out, I need you to feel
 Sometimes the ones who love us end up leaving us still
 You don't need another bottle, you don't need another pill
 You don't gotta smile but we all need you, still
 Baby put the bottle down
 I could hear you drowning now
 I could hear you crying now
 In your silence, I could hear you loud
 Why you taking all these pills?
 Don't you know that they can kill you?
 Don't you know that you can heal?
 Don't you know we need you still?
 ♪
 Yeah, look at the music we listen to
 Bottles and bottles, gimme another one
 Killing ourselves and we're killing each other
 The phrase that I'm hearing is "having fun"
 Numbing my feelings so we can feel something
 How does that make any sense?
 They tell me relax, have a great time
 They see kids who don't know they're depressed
 They bottled it up, now they're shooting it out
 Hitting students all over their chest
 And they wonder what was the reason
 He was just fine, saw him last night and he had a good time
 Wasn't depressed, he was out of his mind
 Who would've known he was out of it
 Guess it was only a matter of time
 There's more to perceive than what you see in your eyes
 Look at the time that we live in our lives
 No emotions, I see them concealing it
 Instead of dealing with problems
 They hand you a drink like "forget it, you don't gotta deal with it"
 That's the world that we live in, I'm sick of it
 Want no part of the world that I'm living in
 If you cared just a little bit, felt just a little bit
 Things would've been a little different
