Lyrics:
“I Can Be That Something”
I watched him take your heart and walk away
And leave you wondering what mistake you made
And I’d never try to take his place
I guess there’s really nothin’ I can sayBut I can be that whiskey in your bottle
I can be that smile that takes away your tears
I can be the place you just want to run to
I can be that somethin’ to get you throughLove can build you up and shut you down
Fill your heart with joy or make it drown
I don’t know if I can help you see
It makes you blind sometimes to what you needBut I can be that whiskey in your bottle
I can be that smile that takes away your tears
I can be that place you just want to run to
I can be that somethin’ to get you throughYeah, I can be that whiskey in your bottle
I can be that smile that takes away your tears
I can be that place you just want to run to
I can be that somethin’ to get you through
I wanna be that somethin’ to get you through
