I Threw Away The Rose

Once I lived a life of wine and roses
I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[ steel ]
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I've planned
I watched my social standings slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses...
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
