Every time I call you mine,
your eyes begin to shine.
But never as bright as mine,
you drown your feelings
in a glass of wine.
Drowning in a glass of wine,
to begin with,
you were never mine.
Jumping off a cliff
I see it shine,
the love you give.
I was never fine
and a will to live
stood behind in line.
You scream: “Forgive”.
But I stand in line
not wanting to live.
I cry to feel fine.
With the hate you give,
it is hard to shine.
You pushed me off a cliff.
Saying: “You’re only mine”
and to end things with
our love never resembled a glass of wine.
