To the Bottom - Erica Padilla

You ask me if I'm happy now That's good as any joke I've heard It seems since I've seen you last I done forgot the meaning of the word If happiness is empty rooms And drinkin' in the afternoon Well I guess I'm as happy as a clam But if it's got a thing to do With smilin' or forgettin' you Well I don't guess that I could say I am Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers He'd been puttin' in his shoes To keep the ground from comin' though And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants Because he's never seen a single dream come true That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling From the bottle to the bottom, stool by stool Learnin' hard to live with losin' you You wonder if I'm better off With freedom now to do the things I choose Well all my times my own and I've got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose There's no one here to carry on If I stay out the whole night long Or give a tinker's damn if I don't call I'm livin' like I wanted to And doin' things I wanna do And nothin' means a thing to me at all Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers He'd been puttin' in his shoes To keep the ground from comin' though And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants Because he's never seen a single dream come true That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling From the bottle to the bottom, stool by stool Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

I don't need the expectation of revolving my time and patience 'round what you need And I don't need the imitation of what it feels like to mean something to somebody 'Cause I don't wanna be stuck hoping that I'm enough You're better off with someone that gives you all that you want It's easier to feel numb just to protect my own heart For my own sake and I can't handle being swept up in your storm I don't need, I don't need feelings I get caught up and keep dreaming Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again I don't need someone to hold me Even through nights when I can't sleep 'Cause I don't wanna take the risk Of craving your touch and your kiss No I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings Think you know me and all my secrets but it takes a lot for me too let my guard down Can't let this get too deep 'cause I'll get lost in it Didn't mean for us to let it get so far I don't need, I don't need feelings I get caught up and keep dreaming Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again I don't need someone to hold me Even through nights when I can't sleep 'Cause I don't wanna take the risk Of craving your touch and your kiss No I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings I don't need, I don't need feelings I get caught up and keep dreaming Maybe I'm too scared of falling in love and losing part of myself again I don't need someone to hold me Even through nights when I can't sleep 'Cause I don't wanna take the risk Of craving your touch and your kiss No I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings I don't need feelings No I don't need feelings
