Message in a Bottle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last night I waited out in the darkness
Realized there’s some things I’ll never know
Why you decided to take for granted
You threw away the sequel
Last night I gave up on what we started
Won’t spend my love on a lost cause
So if there’s hope for the broken-hearted
Why do I feel so far?
[Pre-Chorus]
Since the day you left
I learned to forgive but not forget
While all of the heartache camе and went, I still held on
[Chorus]
This is my messagе in a bottle
I hope you’ll never find
It holds all of the remnants of the love you've left behind
This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world that could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
[Verse 2]
Last night I retraced the steps we'd taken
Just to see if I could walk alone
I may look strong but I still feel forsaken
You’ve never felt so close
Last night I waited out in the darkness
Realized there’s some things I’ll never know
Why you decided to take for granted
You threw away the sequel
Last night I gave up on what we started
Won’t spend my love on a lost cause
So if there’s hope for the broken-hearted
Why do I feel so far?
[Pre-Chorus]
Since the day you left
I learned to forgive but not forget
While all of the heartache camе and went, I still held on
[Chorus]
This is my messagе in a bottle
I hope you’ll never find
It holds all of the remnants of the love you've left behind
This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world that could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
[Verse 2]
Last night I retraced the steps we'd taken
Just to see if I could walk alone
I may look strong but I still feel forsaken
You’ve never felt so close
[Pre-Chorus]
Since the day you left
I learned to forgive but not forget
While all of the heartache came and went, I still held on
[Chorus]
This is my message in a bottle
I hope you’ll never find
It holds all of the remnants of the love you've left behind
This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world that could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
[Bridge]
Since the day you left
I learned to forgive but not forget
While all of the heartache came and went, I still held on
Sign off my regrets
I will reclaim the nights you've spent
Sincerely, I wish we never met
But here we are
[Chorus]
This is my message in a bottle
I hope you’ll never find
It holds all of the remnants of the love you've left behind
This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world
That could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
Since the day you left
I learned to forgive but not forget
While all of the heartache came and went, I still held on
[Chorus]
This is my message in a bottle
I hope you’ll never find
It holds all of the remnants of the love you've left behind
This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world that could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle
[Bridge]
Since the day you left
I learned to forgive but not forget
While all of the heartache came and went, I still held on
Sign off my regrets
I will reclaim the nights you've spent
Sincerely, I wish we never met
But here we are
[Chorus]
This is my message in a bottle
I hope you’ll never find
It holds all of the remnants of the love you've left behind
This is my message in a bottle
It travels space and time
To share the story of the world
That could have been with you and I
My message in a bottle

What did Livingston say about "Message in a Bottle"?
Genius Answer
There are times when I waste so much potential thinking about what could have been – what I could have changed, what I would have said differently. I wanted to write a song about what it would feel like to let that go – to say one statement of closure and make peace with the change.
