Swallow The Wine

(Winship)

They say misery loves company

And that meant she was the one for me

Bound down by lack of hope and desire

Never seemed like we’d ever break free

Everything I ever had I gave it all to my wife

I did everything I could to keep things on the right track

She took the days and the hours that made up my life

It wasn’t much to her but I’d give anything to take it back

Tied down for the rest of my life

Since the day you became my wife

Growing old now till the day we die

I’m yours, and you’re mine

We got married when we were young

All because she was about to have our son

It kills me to think of all the things I wanted be

There were so many places I wanted to see

The days were long and comfort never came when the nighttime fell

My dreams just went bad and rotted on the vine

Since that day we raised our glasses and made that toast to hell

And then we swallowed the bitter wine

Oh misery, look what you’ve done to me

She dragged me to hell and back, now all I remember is cold and black

People warned me but I didn’t have the heart to run

Now I wonder why I bothered as I sit here with a loaded gun
