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
