These Green Eyes Blood Sweat & Beers lyrics

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 have failed you
I wasn't there to save you
And I let you down again

So pass the bottle
Around make sure to hold it down
'Cause it is the only warmth
We'll find tonight in this
Whole damned town

That's what happens
When we live our lives
As strangers we hide
From all our failures
Or will we ever learn

I had to have a drink today
To stop my hands 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 have failed you
I wasn't there to save you
And I let you down again

And isn't this ashamed
We only found each other
Through greed

Through loss and pain

And if it doesn't kill thus
Can we say it made us stronger
We lost a friend and brother
Or will we ever learn

I had to have a drink today
To stop my hands 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 have 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 hands 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 have 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 hands from shaking
To keep my heart from breaking
'Cause I let you down again
