Empty Bottles and Broken Dreams

A Poem by Nathaniel Mann

=]

Empty bottles
And my
Broken dreams
Shattered on the floor
My world
Tearing at its seams

And the
Shattered glass
In my wounded hand
I tried to tell you
Not that you would understand

(Chorus)
And it was my mistake
For just one day
Watch the clouds slowly
As the colors fade to gray
My empty room
Was filled with you
Until the vodka took control
And the devil stole my soul
And if you can't hold on
Than you're not
Strong enough
To be at my side
Thats when we
Collide

And my
Blood is falling
Like rain onto the ground
It used to be a sanctuary
Safe inside your sound

Oh, only you knew me
Like nobody
Before
And you
You stole my pride
I remember that day
My confidence died

(Chorus)

You were my mistake
Just for a day
A little while
A single smile
We came undone
Before it begun
And I knew you weren't the one

(Chorus)
