She put him out
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart
He spent his whole life
Trying to forget
We watched him drink his pain away
A little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough
To get her off his mind
Until that night
He put that bottle to his head
And pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short
But his time it was bigger
Then the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
And when we buried him besides a river
We all say our prayers
Her thoughts flew
But nobody knew how much she cut herself
For days and days
She tried to hide the scares on her arm
She finally ripped her pain away
A little at a time
But she never could get close enough
To get him of his mind
Until that night
She put that razor to her wrist
And slit the skin
And finally tare away her memory
Life is short
But this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get off her knees
We found her with her lying down on the floor
And when we buried her next to him besides a river
We all say our prayers
(this is what would happen if we ever hurt each other. true he would go back to drinking and drugs and me cutting)
