little amber bottles when i ask to be alone
little amber bottles when i pray to be back home
i'm just too sad to cry
you're scared to ask me why

this house is filled with sorrow
each door and board i can recall
i wait tomorrow in and out of padded walls
the clouds are rolling in
this heart is full of wind

little amber bottles keep light from seeping in
little amber bottles let loneliness begin
i'm just too sad to try
and you're too tired to cry

i thought that i was dreaming
when i heard you say goodbye
i must have heard you screaming
but i couldn't remember why
i pray for days to pass
another empty glass

little amber bottles keep light from seeping in
little amber bottles let loneliness begin
i just need you to stay
there's nothing left to say
there's nothing left to say.
