    The song describes a narrator struggling with regret and loss after leaving a woman behind ("I left her in the sand just a burden in my hand"). He asks if the listener would cry or lie for him if he lost his head or shot his love. The lyrics depict the narrator feeling thirsty, needing sympathy, and wanting to drown his sorrows in alcohol. They also reference killing oneself and one's health as the narrator suffers with the ghost of his lost love.
