Tricks, I've pulled some good ones in my time

And games, I've played 'em with the best of minds

I filled my pockets full of silver and gold

Then walked out on love when love left me cold

Now I'm a man in a bottle, a bottle of tears

Caught up in a heartache, drowning in fear

Im a man in a bottle of tears

I battle my way to the top and I bottle my way to the bottom



Fame, I had my friends, I had it all

And what a shame, there's not a soul that I can call

They all love me when I'm acting the fool

But now they look at me like I'm no longer cool

'Cause I'm a man in a bottle, a bottle of tears

Caught up in a heartache, drowning in fear

Im a man in a bottle of tears

I battle my way to the top and I bottle my way to the bottom

Oh, I battle my way to the top and I bottle my way to the bottom
