My Friend the Bottle My Friend the Glass Lyrics

I found new friends the day you left me you never told me you'd be back
New friends so kind to one so lonely my friend the bottle my friend the glass
They kept me going when I had to go take you back I wish you wouldn't ask
They now mean more to me than you do my friend the bottle my friend the glass
To ease my mind they give me blindness so I can see into the past
Sometimes I think they're killing me with kindness
My friend the bottle my friend the glass

While you were gone I learned to need them give them up that's just too much to ask
By now you too might like to meet them my friend the bottle my friend the glass
My friend the bottle my friend the glass

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
