I had to have a drink today to stop my hand from shaking To keep my heart from breaking To stop these tears from running down my face When I heard the news I knew that I had failed you I wasn't there to save you And I let you down again So pa** the bottle around Make sure to hold it down Because it's the only warmth will find tonight in this whole damn town And that's what happens When we live our lives as strangers We hide from all our failures Oh, will we ever learn? I had to have a drink today To stop my hand from shaking To keep my heart from breaking To stop these tears from Running down my face When I heard the news I knew that I had failed you I wasn't there to save you And I let you down again And isn't this a shame We only found each other Through grief, through loss and pain And if it doesn't k** us
Can't we say it made us stronger We lost a friend and brother Oh, will we ever learn? I had to have a drink today To stop my hand from shaking To keep my heart from breaking To stop these tears from Running down my face When I heard the news I knew that I had failed you I wasn't there to save you And I let you down again I had to have a drink today to stop my hand from shaking To keep my heart from breaking To stop these tears from running down my face When I heard the news I knew that I had failed you I wasn't there to save you And I let you down again I had to have a drink today to stop hand from shaking To keep my heart from breaking To stop these tears from running down my face When I heard the news I knew that I had failed you I wasn't there to save you And I let you down again
