Lyrics

You didn't call me on my birthday
I know you feel no obligation, there's no more loving motivation
But it would've been nice... to think you cared
I guess I'll take this final clue as proof that you and I are through
And I raise my glass, to you and me
And drink away our memories

I hope my bottle lasts all night
The only thing that makes me right
It takes my mind away from you
I know it's sad, but it's so true
I hope my bottle lasts all night
'Cause it never made me cry...unlike you...unlike you

I thought you were perfect, in every way
Enough to change my thoughts and views and open up my heart to you
But it didn't last, you threw it all away
Leaving me broken and dying, drinking, hoping, praying, crying
And I raise my glass, to you and me
And drink away our memories

I hope my bottle lasts all night
The only thing that makes me right
It takes my mind away from you
I know it's sad, but it's so true
I hope my bottle lasts all night
'Cause it never made me cry...unlike you...unlike you

And as the fog comes rolling in... I fill my glass again
'Cause I know you'll never walk back through my door
With every ounce of it I drink
I cannot help but sadly think
Her warmth's the only love I'm feeling anymore

The bottle didn’t last all night
But it made me feel all right
Took my mind away from you
I know that’s sad, but now I’m through
The bottle didn’t last all night
And it never made me cry
Quite like you...quite like you
