Once I lived the life of wine and roses But you drank a lot back then for one concern Success, for you, lay just around the corner You thought your social friends would help you make the turn But now Im paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the kind of life you chose Now all your social friends look down their noses Cause you kept the wine but threw away the rose I stood by and watched the bottle take control of you The turn you made was not the one we planned And I watched your social standing stripped away from you While I watched the bottle slowly take command And now Im paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the kind of life you chose And now all your social friends look down their noses Cause you kept the wine but threw away the rose Cause you kept the wine but threw away the rose
