It Didn't Look Like Alcohol Lyrics

Didn't look like alcohol to me But his hands were shakin' like a willow leaf Reaching out for one more drink He didn't look like a loser to me
But he was lost behind his tears Something bad had to drive him in here He don't fit in with this crowd Somewhere, sometime he was proud
There's a storm stretched out A million miles across his heart And a war he's fighting in the dark Whatever it is something bigger then him Drove him too far down to crawl But it didn't look like alcohol
Thought I heard him say somebody's name But I pretended like I didn't hear I just wished that I could disappear He was cracking like a desert of burning shame
Pleading with someone that I couldn't see He might as well've been on his knees Like a bomb tickin' ready to blow He got up in a hurry to go
There's a storm stretched out A million miles across his heart And a war he's fighting in the dark Whatever it is something bigger then him Drove him too far and down to crawl But it didn't look like alcohol
The girl behind the bar says she guesses he forgot her I said, "Don't worry I'll get his tab And gave me two of whatever he had" And she said, "Water"
Oh whatever it is, something bigger then him Drove him too far and down to crawl But it didn't look like alcohol Didn't look like alcohol to me
