| Young & handsome |
| Star of the team |
| What all the young guys simply wanted to be |
| Girls dreamed about him, and he thought he had it all |
| He got one in trouble, and the star began to fall |
| Fell into drinking, blew his college chance away |
| Left her on her own, couldn’t face the life he’d made |
| And all his promises would soon turn into lies |
| She never made him happy, and he never made it right |
| And he drank to kill the trouble on his mind |
| He couldn’t face the future or the ones he’d left behind |
| Every day was more lonely than the last |
| And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of a glass |
| He started running with the wrong kind of crowd |
| He started sleeping on the wrong side of town |
| Then as time went on he tried so hard to change |
| But he always left her crying, she could never make him stay |
| One lonely night, with tears on his face |
| He raised his glass and his life slipped away |
| Just a memory, once like a dream |
| Everyone had loved him, the star of the team |
| And he drank to forget about the past |
| And all he ever wanted was what he couldn’t have |
| Every day was more lonely than the last |
| But he finally found forgiveness at the bottom of a glass |
| Yeah he finally found forgiveness, at the bottom of a glass |
