Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can lie a hundred ways
Speak in riddles till I'm out of breath
Holding out for a better day
Still thinking I got something left
Then the world does what it does
Until I can't pretend
That what it is ain't what it was
And what it was will never be again
[Chorus]
You can tell yourself you're getting by
But you're only getting further gone
When the bottle ain't a friend
And the smoke in the wind smells like an old Skynyrd song
You can tell yourself that you're hanging on
But you're really just getting dragged
Don't think that you're the only one
Chasing dust in the bottom of a bag
[Verse 2]
Broken mirrors in a broken home
Can't get out of my own way
A closet full of hidden bones
At the end of the day
[Chorus]
You can tell yourself you're getting by
But you're only getting further gone
When the bottle ain't a friend
And the smoke in the wind smells like an old Skynyrd song
You can tell yourself that you're hanging on
But you're really just getting dragged
Don't think that you're the only one
Chasing dust in the bottom of a bag
Dust in the bottom of a bag
[Outro]
Yeah, you can tell yourself that you're getting by
But you're only getting further gone
When the bottle ain't a friend
And the smoke in the wind smells like an old Skynyrd song
You can tell yourself that you're hanging on
But you're really just getting dragged
Don't think that you're the only one
Chasing dust in the bottom of a bag
