You said no matter what that you'd be honest
You said, "Now darling, I'll take care of you"
But last night when you broke another promise
I started to question what the truth is
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wake up in the morning
Something's different in this light
It's like everything is perfect
You don't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing is
I don't wanna have this fight
You're saying that it's not that
You say that every time
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Verse 2]
I know that you've got the best intentions
I know that you mean the things you say
But forever isn't something you should mention
If you keep making all the same mistakes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wake up in the morning
Something's different in this light
It's like everything is perfect
You don't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing is
I can see how hard you try
You don't wanna hurt me
But that doesn't make it right
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Bridge]
And ooh, I swear you change me
You're upset
And do things I can't forget
But, darling, something's got to change
Before it's too late
You could paint a picture of
Put your heart in every line
But the things that we just miss out
Doing damage over time
Don't wanna wake up one day and
Wonder why I just stood by
Kept it on the inside
No, something wasn't right
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Outro]
You're poking holes, you're poking holes
You're poking holes in you and me
You're poking holes, you're poking holes
You're poking holes in you and me
