Darryl Atherton - Empty Bottles Lyrics

Looking for redemption in the bottom of a broken bottle
I'm half crazy my mind is tearing itself apart
I've thrown away the greatest gift a man could possess
In my arrogance and stupidity I've lost sight of you

I never recognised the beauty you have inside
I craved for outward beauty and found an empty space
There was no soul or love embodied in that place
Too late I learned my lesson you'd already gone

I'm now hurting so much but self pity doesn't wash
There's a long way to go to rebuild my shattered pride
First I need to stop looking for love in empty bottles
More sleepless nights thinking of you breaks my heart

Looking for redemption in the bottom of a broken bottle
I'm half crazy my mind is tearing itself apart
I've thrown away the greatest gift a man could possess
In my arrogance and stupidity I've lost sight of you

Selfishly I hope you're still alone willing to take me back
Truth be told I don't deserve you because of what I've done
If chance should be that we ever meet again
I know your loving kindness will smile on me again

You deserve a better life than the one I shared with you
I hope that whatever you are you've found your special one
Let it be you're not like me looking through empty bottles
So my lost love don't shed a tear for me I'm not worth it

There's no redemption in the bottom of an empty bottle
There's no redemption in the bottom of an empty bottle
