I Threw Away the Rose
From Wine to Woes: Unveiling Life's Bitter Symphony
Lyrics
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
Reflecting on a past life filled with indulgence and pleasure.
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Drinking heavily in the past due to a particular worry or issue.
Success for me lay just around the corner
Believing that success was imminent in the near future.
I thought my social friends would help me make me turn
Expecting support from social connections to change his life.
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
Experiencing consequences for the earlier life of excess.
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Becoming a victim of the negative outcomes of the chosen lifestyle.
Now all my social friends look down their noses
Sensing judgment from social circles for the current situation.
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Regretting choosing momentary pleasure (wine) over lasting value (rose).
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
Observing the detrimental influence of alcohol taking over.
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
Realizing that the path taken was not the intended one.
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
Witnessing a decline in social status due to alcohol's impact.
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
Helplessly watching as alcohol gains control over life.
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
Facing the repercussions of the earlier life filled with excesses.
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Being a victim of the negative consequences of the chosen drunken lifestyle.
Now all my social friends look down their noses
Experiencing judgment from social circles for the current predicament.
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Expressing remorse for prioritizing short-term pleasure over enduring beauty.
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
Reiterating the choice made and its lasting impact.
