I Can Be That Something Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watched him take your heart and walk away
And leave you wondering what mistake you made
And I'd never try to take his place
I guess there's really nothin' I can say

[Chorus]
But I can be that whiskey in your bottle
I can be that smile that takes away your tears
I can be the place you just want to run to
I can be that somethin' to get you through

[Verse 2]
Love can build you up and shut you down
Fill your heart with joy or make it drown
I don't know if I can help you see
It makes you blind sometimes to what you need

[Chorus]
But I can be that whiskey in your bottle
I can be that smile that takes away your tears
I can be that place you just want to run to
I can be that somethin' to get you through

[Chorus]
Yeah, I can be that whiskey in your bottle
I can be that smile that takes away your tears
I can be that place you just want to run to
I can be that somethin' to get you through
I wanna be that somethin' to get you through

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
