Cheap Wine

You've been here before
The ground is silk
You're in your hands
Next to some vodka with milk
Nobody notices
Nobody asks
And you don't want them to
You just want it to end

Every time
Do the dishes
Then tuck yourself away
Turn out the light, face the other way
Act tough
And swear
Again and again
"Never again"

You're the life of the party
Even though you feel dead
Everyone else is drinking
You lie on a spare bed

Why can't you just have fun?
Drink some cheap wine?
Just laugh along?
Just this one time?

And every time
You do the dishes
Then you tuck yourself away
I know you want to cry, but always fail
Lie down
Go ahead, swear
Again and again and again
"Never again"

And then she came along
She unwrapped your soul
You invaded hers
But now you laugh along
And now you don't seem hurt
