Poison & Wine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You only know what I want I you to

I know everything you don't want me to

Your mouth is poison your mouth is wine

You think your dreams are the same as mine

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I always will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back

(Well) The less I give the more I get back

Your hands can heal, your hands can bruise

I don't have a choice, but I'd still choose you

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I don't love you, but I always will

I always will

I always will

I always will

I always will
