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 bit at a time
But he never could get drunk enough
To get her off his mind Until the night

He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
He finally drank away her memory Life is short
But this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
