Poking Holes by Emily Warren Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said no matter what that you'd be honest
You said, "Now darling, I'll take care of you"
But last night when you broke another promise
I started to question what the truth is
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wake up in the morning
Something's different in this light
It's like everything is perfect
You don't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing is
I don't wanna have this fight
You're saying that it's not that
You say that every time
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Verse 2]
I know that you've got the best intentions
I know that you mean the things you say
But forever isn't something you should mention
If you keep making all the same mistakes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wake up in the morning
Something's different in this light
It's like everything is perfect
You don't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing is
I can see how hard you try
You don't wanna hurt me
But that doesn't make it right
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Bridge]
And ooh, I swear you change me
You're upset
And do things I can't forget
But, darling, something's got to change
Before it's too late
You could paint a picture of
Put your heart in every line
But the things that we just miss out
Doing damage over time
Don't wanna wake up one day and
Wonder why I just stood by
Kept it on the inside
No, something wasn't right
[Chorus]
Oh, so don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Outro]
You're poking holes, you're poking holes
You're poking holes in you and me
You're poking holes, you're poking holes
You're poking holes in you and me
You said no matter what that you'd be honest
You said, "Now darling, I'll take care of you"
But last night when you broke another promise
I started to question what the truth is
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Wake up in the morning
Something's different in this light
It's like everything is perfect
You don't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing is
I don't wanna have this fight
You're saying that it's not that
You say that every time
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Verse 2]
I know that you've got the best intentions
I know that you mean the things you say
But forever isn't something you should mention
If you keep making all the same mistakes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Wake up in the morning
Something's different in this light
It's like everything is perfect
You don't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing is
I can see how hard you try
You don't wanna hurt me
But that doesn't make it right
[Chorus]
So don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Bridge]
And ooh, I swear you change me
You're upset
And do things I can't forget
But, darling, something's got to change
Before it's too late
You could paint a picture of
Put your heart in every line
But the things that we just miss out
Doing damage over time
Don't wanna wake up one day and
Wonder why I just stood by
Kept it on the inside
No, something wasn't right
[Chorus]
Oh, so don't blame the liquor
For the things you say that you don't mean
The small things, get bigger
You're poking holes in you and me
[Outro]
You're poking holes, you're poking holes
You're poking holes in you and me
You're poking holes, you're poking holes
You're poking holes in you and me
