Story Behind The Song

I watched a family member go through a relationship that sucked the life out of her. She kept giving and giving until there was nothing left.

Lyrics

Bottom of the Well

1. It's an old familiar road where I always turn
Marked by shattered dreams dusty in the dirt
Your voice is filled with ice; and I hide away
my sad, cold heart

Chorus
I gave you deep, sweet love
You satisfied your thirst and threw the empty cup away
I see you down the road, now coming back for more
But I'm all undone
I got nothing left to give you from the bottom of this well.

2. It's a worn and beaten path, so familiar to me now,
My feet could find the distance even in the dark
I never seem to stumble; I greet that roadblock
Like a dear, old friend

Chorus
I gave you deep, sweet love
You satisfied your thirst and threw the empty cup away
I see you down the road, now coming back for more
But I'm all undone
I got nothing left to give you from the bottom of this well.

Bridge
Nothing left to give you but the tatters of this life
That fall away like leaves in winter wind
Nothing left to give you from this empty frozen place
I'm all poured out...dry as bones

Chorus
I gave you deep, sweet love
You satisfied your thirst and threw the empty cup away
I see you down the road, now coming back for more
But I'm all undone
I got nothing left to give you from the bottom of this well.
