BOTTLED

BOTTLED

You bottle everything every time
What are you so afraid to face?
Look where it’s gotten you

Visions of old maid
And a life of lonely
Can’t complain when you’ve only yourself to blame

You sweep it all under the rug everyday
What are you running from?
Look what you did

He lit up your world
And enriched your life
But now he’s gone

You’re too afraid to be happy
So you pretend not to care as you sabotage
Live in that bottle and run from everything
Look where it’s gotten you

Seize those that make you happy
Hold on tight and don’t let go
Look where you’d be

Stop turning away from all that’s good in this life
You only get one shot to get it right
You sacrificed everything you had
If asked why, could you answer?
