She said boy if you'd quit drinking

I just might give you time
She might consider giving the person time if they quit drinking.
But every time Jack burns your lips

You run further from my mind

But I ain't afraid to let you go

Cause I don't own a drunken fool

Who's faiths worn years ago
The person's faith has deteriorated over the years due to their actions.
I don't care what you said
Disregarding the person's words and lies.
Your lies I've never bought
Expressing skepticism towards the person's statements.
Don't you know a drunk man words

Are a sober mans thoughts

But nothing will ever please you more

Than this heart of mine

But it ain't me that's missing

It's you who cries at night

And since you've stopped caring
Since the person stopped caring, the speaker has given up the emotional struggle.
I've since gave up this fight
The speaker has surrendered in the face of the person's indifference.
I don't care what you said

Your lies I've never bought
Stressing the persistent doubt regarding the person's statements.
