Easier Said than Done

Lyrics

Easier Said Than Done

This bottle of whiskey, he knows who I am
He’s been talking to me since the night began
He’s not a sharp dresser, but he does the job well
Knows just want to say to make me feel like hell

Took my friend the bottle to paint the town red
A few long drinks in and the bottle he said
“Your pain ain’t your fault, boy, you’ve done nothing wrong
Have no regrets and be strong”

But father I’m hungry, mother I’m cold
I fear I forgot everything that you told me
I stand right here waiting for this anger to pass
When deep down I know that it’s mine
To send away, send it away
Send all this sorrow to some other place
To bring love and laughter, freedom and hope
Well it’s easier said than done
Oh it’s easier said, easier said than done

My words start to slur, but the bottle, he knows
I see my own face in the mirror, it glows
He says “Let me help, boy, let me warm your soul
You know I can drive out that cold”

But father I’m hungry, mother I’m cold
I fear I forgot everything that you told me
I stand right here waiting for this anger to pass
When deep down I know that it’s mine
To send away, send it away
Send all this sorrow to some other place
To bring love and laughter, freedom and hope
Well it’s easier said than done
Oh it’s easier said, easier said than done

When the bottle stops talking at the end of the night
and you drink his last breath in the new morning light
There ain’t nothing worse than that feeling of fear
when you know that your ride is done
