scott-nix How can something so sad be so beautiful at the same time? A remarkable piece of songwriting that breaks my heart but then somehow puts it back together. Awestruck again and again by Tami's talent.

lyrics

The Bottle & Me
T. Neilson/ J. Neilson

So this is the end, is that all it takes
A flick of your hand and I’m thrown away
Is this how it feels, I wouldn’t have guessed
No cracks in my heart, no ache in my chest
With my remedy
The bottle and me

And it’s the saddest thing you’ll ever see
A crowd of people here with me while I drown alone
Yeah I know just what they all think
A woman who can’t hold her drink
Why can’t they see, that it’s holding me

And you did your best to understand
You hoped like a child, you fought like a man
But could not defeat the bottle and me

Chorus

You think I can’t see what’s become of me
This hunger I feed, I want to be free
But no one can compete with the bottle and me
The Bottle and Me
