[Intro]
Red eyes on the table
Words that burn
Unstable
Love's a gamble
He's a fable
[Verse 1]
Glass hits the floor
My patience cracks
Slurred excuses
They always stack
Shadows of us
They're turning black
Whiskey whispers
I can't talk back
[Prechorus]
The room's spinning faster than his lies
Tears dry slow but his anger flies
[Chorus]
He's a mean drunk
Don't you know
A fire that won't let go
He's a mean drunk
It shows
Breaking hearts like he's breaking bones
[Verse 2]
Late-night promises
Morning shame
Same old story
Just a different name
His laugh cuts deep
His rage untamed
And I'm left picking pieces of the blame
[Prechorus]
The clock ticks loud but his words still sting
Can't love a man who loves the sting
