Everything I touch turns to shit

Everyone I try to love won?t hear of it

Now my hands are overfull of things I'd like to give

Does anybody want it?

Does anybody want it?

Does anybody want me?

I've been mapping it out

I don't know what's wrong with me

But I wish that it was something else

I?ve been mapping it out

Maybe you should find a girl who cares about herself

It's silence at the bottom of a bottle

ba da da da da da

It's silence at the bottom of a bottle

ba da da da da da

Everywhere I look I see your face

No button I can push, delete, erase

Can nothing straight but for the emptiness

No one left for me to miss

I've been mapping it out

I don't know what's wrong with me

But I wish that it was something else

I?ve been mapping it out

Maybe you should find a girl who cares about herself

It's silence at the bottom of a bottle

ba da da da da da

It's silence at the bottom of a bottle

ba da da da da da

Down here we've got so much time to forget

I wonder if this is how I pay for the things I've broken carelessly

Nobody wants to step on it

I guess I just keep drinking

It's silence at the bottom of a bottle

ba da da da da da

It's silence at the bottom of a bottle

ba da da da da da

The problem will find them sooner or later

you have to hit something.
