Drop for Every Hour

I hit him hard and made it known he wasn't gonna make it home
No matter how much he might disagree
And suddenly I saw it in his eyes when it clicked
The last thing he was gonna see was me
And fear is such a funny thing, we wear it like a diamond ring
With promises we never plan to keep
"I swear that if you let me go" and so-and-so
But tears are only water, and water is cheap
Mirror mirror on the counter, covered in fine white powder
What the hell is fair at all?
So I'll take a drop for every hour she'll never dance
Hide a piece in every city she'll never see
I know that this won't make it better
But I don't want to live without her
So the last drop, the last drop is for me
I never thought there'd be a day I didn't get to hold my daughter
Terrified knowing that I'd never come to terms with this at all
I never knew how much a man could hate 'til I read that letter
And like you said, none of us are saints, if I recall
I never knew how patient I could be until I watched you bleed
There's nothing I can take from you that means what she did to me
Every word from your fucking mouth is like bringing wood to a burning house
And we'll be here all night 'til ashes are all we breathe
So I'll take a drop for every hour she'll never dance
I'll hide a piece in every city she'll never see
I know that this won't bring her back
And I'll never find relief
So the last drop
Oh, the last drop
The last drop is for me
