This is one about a man tired of hearing about everyones life problems when he's be through it just the same but more-so. [Verse 1] I lost my job last Monday, whiskey took Friday night She slammed the screen door yellin', said she’s done with our fights Now I’m starin’ down that bottle like it’s gonna talk me through But it ain’t got no answers, just reflections of the truth [Chorus] Don’t tell me you’ve hit rock bottom, without talkin’ to me first I’ve seen the devil in the mirror, and it don’t get much worse I’ve felt the cold of a goodbye that burns more than it should So don’t say you know pain, unless you’ve done all that you could Yeah, don’t tell me you’ve hit rock bottom, without talkin’ to me first [Verse 2] I watched my mama cryin', sayin’ "boy, where did you go?" My brother don’t return my calls, guess he’s tired of my lows Love turned into silence, and silence into stone Now I’m talkin’ to the shadows ‘cause I can’t stand bein’ alone [Chorus] Don’t tell me you’ve hit rock bottom, without talkin’ to me first I’ve laid in beds of silence, where love only made it worse I’ve begged the night for mercy, prayed my past would just let go So don’t say you’ve seen the bottom, ‘til you’ve got nowhere to go Yeah, don’t tell me you’ve hit rock bottom, without talkin’ to me first [Bridge] You think you're broken, son, you might just be bruised There's a fine line between losin' and choosing to lose So if you’re hangin’ by a thread, don’t cut it in the dark Just reach out for a voice, not another broken heart [Final Chorus] Don’t tell me you’ve hit rock bottom, without talkin’ to me first I’ve danced with all my demons, and I've lived through the worst But if you’ve got one breath left, just say it to me loud ‘Cause no one makes it back alone from under that kind of cloud Yeah, don’t tell me you’ve hit rock bottom… Without talkin’ to me first
