Drop For Every Hour – Amigo The Devil

I hit him hard and made it known
He wasn’t going to make it home
No matter how much he might disagree
And suddenly I saw it in his eyes
When it clicked
That the last thing he was going to 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 until 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
