Can you say angsty teen ballad? This song just screams teenager-who's-angry-at-the-world-and-feels-perpetually-misunderstood. We open to a dramatic storm out by a woman repeating that she "never said [she] was perfect." She finally feels pushed to her limit and decides to start to drinking to solve whatever she is feeling inside, a bad habit that many teenagers pick up, unfortunately. She starts "bottling her emotions" by literally drinking her problems away out of a bottle, insisting that she will continue to drink until her pockets are empty. Continuing in this very dramatic fashion, she continues to repeat that this isn't her finest hour and she's on her knees begging the listener not to give up on her. While her pleas may be over the top, any listener would empathize with the singer, after all, we're only human, and everyone has been in her shoes before.
