Bottom of the Barrel

lyrics

Digging in the bottom of the barrel
Oh-oh-oh
That's where you're gonna find me
Digging through all the secondhand castoffs
Oh-oh-oh
Now what I had's behind me
I was an idiot
I said the things to hurt you
You're gone, and I don't blame you, no
Digging in the bottom of the barrel
Oh-oh-oh
Looking at the leftovers

All I can hope for is a miracle
You were the pinnacle
I didn't know how good I had it
I tend to be a little clinical
Maybe too cynical
And prudence? I don't know what that is
When you told me all of your dreams
I would only find the problems with them
So that's why you needed to get rid of me
You never ever, never ever want to see my face again

Digging in the bottom of the barrel
Oh-oh-oh
That's where you're gonna find me
Digging through all the secondhand castoffs
Oh-oh-oh
Now what I had's behind me
I was an idiot
I said the things to hurt you
You're gone, and I don't blame you, no
Digging in the bottom of the barrel
Oh-oh-oh
Looking at the leftovers now
