lyrics

Verse 1:
This familiar taste, so sour
At this, timely hour
You're poison in my veins
It makes these efforts vain

But I, should have seen the light
And I should have known, you were right
Just pour another, Just embrace and smother

Chorus:
Behind the little lies you've sold
You can't take it back, you won't take it back
I'd rather be, dead and cold
Cause my time's almost gone
You can't take me back, you won't take me back
You won't take me back, anymore

Verse 2:
At the bottle's bottom
This life's final autumn
You're the one who knows
Where my weakness goes

I don't mind this stout
It's what life has poured out
Come on just give me another
We know there's no other way, out

Chorus

(Time's just, wasting away
And this, glass is empty)

Pre-chorus:
I think we're done here
Just so that we're clear
I've heard it all before
All those times you swore

My glass is now half gone
No time left to hang on
Sand seeps through the crack
And there's no going back

Chorus

Outro
Behind the little lies
You can't take it back, you won't take it back
I'd rather be dead and cold

Cause my time's all up
You can't take me back, you won't take me back
You won't take me back (there)
Anymore
