I reach out when I have a confession

I reach out in desperation

I reach out when no one is listening

So I go looking for the next best thing.

Happiness straight from the bottle

When real life's too hard to swallow

Happiness straight from the bottle

When real life's too hard to swallow.

I feel them judging on me for their own pleasure

If they really knew they'd know better

That I'm the one who caves under pressure

When desperate times call for desperate measures.

Happiness straight from the bottle

When real life's too hard to swallow

Happiness straight from the bottle

When real life's too hard to swallow.

I know there's got to be some peace in me

But I can't find it

I get so sick of looking.

Happiness straight from the bottle

When real life's too hard to swallow

Happiness straight from the bottle

When real life's too hard to swallow.

Too hard to swallow.
