Wine into water
WHEN SHE’S AROUND OTHER PEOPLE SHE SEEMS PERFECTLY FINE
HER TEARS ARE HELD BACK BY HER GLASSES OF WINE
BUT WHEN THE PARTY IS OVER AND SHE FINDS HER WAY HOME
THE WINE WILL KEEP FLOWING AS SHE SITS THERE ALONE
SHE’LL START THINKING OF LOVE THAT SHE HAD IN THE PAST
TURNING WINE INTO WATER AS SHE REFILLS HER GLASS
THE WATER BUILDS UP BEHIND THE RED IN HER EYES
UNTIL THE SADNESS FLOWS OUT IN THE TEARS THAT SHE CRIES
TO HOLD BACK THE WATER SHE TURNED TO THE WINE
AS SHE TRIES TO PRETEND THAT SHE’S PERFECTLY FINE
EVERY DAY NEVER CHANGING THE CYCLE SHE’S IN
BY ITS END SHE’LL TURN WINE INTO WATER AGAIN
