Empty Bottles

And so the story goes
I think we've heard it all before
It's always something new
The same old story once too often

Just once, I'd like to turn around and
Find you, but you can't be found
Standing there all alone without a sound

So now you disappear
And fall into the archives
Always remembered never surrendered
What should we believe this time?

So tell me why?
Why should I decide that it's okay?
These empty bottles make me feel
Make me feel this way

Am I just wasting time?
Have you never sat down too?
You wouldn't be afraid
‘Cause once you sit you'll feel it too

And yet another night
Another band will never play
Pay no more cover charge
Why don't you see this point of view?

Just once, I'd like to turn around and
Find you, but you can't be found
Standing there all alone without a sound

Late night just won't be the same
Can't blame you – don't even know your name
Its no surprise that I feel the same

So tell me why?
Why should I decide that it's okay?
These empty bottles make me feel this way

And tell me how you're wallet's bigger than my heart
It really hurts to see it go this way

and so I say, “Goodbye”
