These teardrop bottles I've collected Lying along with my books on these dusty shelves, Will sit there and constantly remind me That they've come to drown away the sadness I have always had in my eyes
And like the rain to the earth, They've come to mend the cracks in my heart That had gone dry When you were still my sun Who brightened my days;
And, without me even noticing, Had slowly burned my heart; With the fake warmth of your love All the pain each bottle now holds, Somehow saved me from turning to ashes
One bottle for every night I've cried, A drop of tear for every beat my heart skipped; Bottles which kept not only tears and pain, But the sounds of my voice at night Whenever I cried your name
