She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' 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' the night
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And 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
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said, "I'll love her till I die"
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until' the night
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la laa

Odd how people never pay attention to you, then you die and the whole world revolves around your death. ppl, please don't wait until their dead to start listening and understanding and paying attention to the ones that are around you.

This song makes me think of my parents. My mom left my dad because he's an alcoholic and she couldn't put us kids through that, And he has never totally gotten over my mom and I think sometimes this might be the out come of my father.

tripastep, my cuz commited suicide over the summer. its all so sereal. its been at least 8months, and i still cry at night. but ive learned to live with it, and the pain i hav. he was such an enormus part of my life. but not once hav i ever considered doin the same thing. to get over the pain one word of advice for all who read this: hold on to the people u love, becuz u wont kno wat they mean to u until they r gone for good. i kno uve heard that a million time, but man is it true. take it from a person who has experianced this. live ur life the way god created u to, and he does not create us to end r own lives, thats his job <3333
