Never Thought To Look

I never thought to look,


Beyond the rim of a glass,


For an answer to a prayer I thought I forgot,


You must think me crazy now,


For looking at the bottom,


And thinking of you,


Of how I should never do the things I do,


And yet I do, because I forgot how to love you



When the bells rang that day,


I still knew your name,


I would praise you and raise my voice on high,


But after that stormy night,


After our first fight,


I felt my faith starting to slip,


Disapearing after her one way trip



I never thought to look,


Beyond the rim of a glass,


For an answer to a prayer I thought I forgot,


You must think me crazy now,


For looking at the bottom,


And thinking of you,


Of how I should never do the things I do,


And yet I do, because I forgot how to love you


I feel like Ive lost it all,


Except for the whiskeys call,


But the whiskey goes and my mouth runs dry,


And I find myself starting to cry,


I need someone to love,


To wipe away my tears,


To offer me haven from sorrows and fears,


And then I remember the way,


The preacher would always say,


You love even the lost little lambs



I never thought to look,


Beyond the rim of a glass,


For an answer to a prayer I thought I forgot,


You must think me crazy now,


For looking at the bottom,


Of an empty glass,


And thinking of you,


Of how I should never have done the things that I did,


And yet I do, because I'm learning how to love you,


Once again
