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
Kevin Jonas was coming home from war, exicted to see his wife Lilly after being away for so long. He walked into his house and heard laughing from upstairs. Kevin smiled as he walked up stairs.
As he opened his bedroom door, he was shocked to find Lilly with Oliver. "Kevin..." Lilly started. "Save it" Kevin managed through his tears as he walked out the door and ran out of the house.
Two weeks later, Lilly was driving down the street and saw Kevin stumbleing around outside a bar. She sighed sadly and kept driving as she saw, Miley, Nick, and Joe try to help him.
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
That night Kevin was sitting on his bed with a gun in his hands. He dropped down to his knees and started crying as he put the gun to his head and slowley squeezed the trigger.
The next morning when Nick came to check on his brother, he saw him laying with his face in his pillow clutching a peace of paper. "Joe, Miley get in here" Nick yelled as he ran to his brother.
The other two teens entered the room and broke down at the sight. Miley took the note from his hand and read it out loud. "I'll love her till I die" was written in Kevin's messy writing.
They buried Kevin at his favorite spot. Underneath a willow tree where him and Lilly had first kiss.
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
Lilly lay in bed with a bottle of whiskey next to her on the headstand. She got up to head out to see Miley, who had insitited on talking to her. Lilly did everything she could to hide the fact she had been drinking.
Lilly
grimanced as she took another large swig from the bottle on her
nightstand. "It was my fault" she mumbled over and over
again as she contunided drinking. 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
Lilly sank down to her knees and reached under her bed, pulling out a gun. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she layed in bed and put the gun to her head and pulled the trigger.
Miley found Lilly that way two hours later, clinging to a picture of Kevin so hard that it was wrinkling. Miley broke down and called an ambulance.
The
next day, Lilly was buried next to Kevin under the willow tree.
Behind them, Miley, as she clung to her husband Joe for dear life,
swore she heard singing, and faint laughter of her two best friends.
