She sits there alone
Wondering if he's been drinking
Like he's promised her time
And again he won't do
Or if she'll ignore
The whiskey he's breathing
Or the stories he'll tell her
That she knows just ain't true
She loves her man
Like he loves the bottle
They cling tight to both
Without making a sound
Knowing damn well
They're killing themselves
But they just can't let go
Of the love that they've found
He stumbles through the door
Eyes as red as her face
A smile on his lips
Another's love on his neck
You could hear her heart break
Clear across the holler
Two souls trapped
In habits they can't shake
She loves her man
Like he loves the bottle
They cling tight to both
Without making a sound
Knowing damn well
They're killing themselves
But they just can't let go
Of the love that they've found
She could've left
A long time before
No one would've blamed her
For walking away
Lord knows she's earned
Those tears on her face
But she's still in love
With the man who he could've been
She loves her man
Like he loves the bottle
They cling tight to both
Without making a sound
Knowing damn well
They're killing themselves
But they just can't let go
Of the love that they've found
But they just can't let go
Of what's dragging them down
