"I failed." Faith said to herself in the silence in her apartment. Her tears were raining down her cheek, with bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and a picture of her in the other. She takes a long chug of Jack and continued staring at the picture of her.
"I'm so sorry I failed ya, baby. I'm sorry I never got to tell ya how I feel." Faith said once again to the emptiness of her 'home'.
"Ya know they say that home's where the heart is. I never knew what that meant until I met you." Faith continues to talk to the picture as if the subject would come out of the picture and into her arms.
"But don't worry baby, I'm comin' home soon." She takes another long chug of JD, until it was all gone and laid it down on the bed along with the picture. She reaches into her nightstand drawer and pulls out a revolver and held it to one side of her head, the cold tip of the barrel touching one of her temples and held her pillow to the other side of head. And with all the strength she could muster she let out her last word.
"Buffy."
And pulled the trigger.

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her 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 her picture for dear life
We laid her next to her beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Song by Brad Paisley featuring Alison Krauss called Whiskey Lullaby.
