lyrics

Have I hit the bottom this time?
Is this the bottom of my mind?
What’s in the bottom for me to find?
I’m wonderin’ Oh

Where’s the bottom
of your love for me?
Cause there’s the bottom
of where I wanna be
I swear, the bottom
has come for me
and I’m fallin' in Oh

I’m fallin' in
to the bottom
to the bottom oh
I’m crawlin' in
to the bottom
To the bottom
And I’m wonderin'
is there a bottom?
Is there a bottom to your love?
To your love?

From the bottom of my soul
Or from the bottom of this hole
Oh girl, this is not in my control
But I want in Oh

I’m reachin’ out
Oh I’m screamin’ out
I’m bleedin’ out
at the bottom
at the bottom too

If that’s all there is
then I’m all in.
And so I’ll ask again
is there a bottom?
Is there a bottom to your love?
To your love?
To your love?
To your love?
