How quickly passion goes
And contempt is its replacement
I remember the day I bought you a rose
Now I hide in the basement
Passion once lite up our lives
So strong it seemed unbreakable
Now I look at other wives
And wonder why we were unshakeable
Your contempt radiates
Apparent every day
Your scorn is like weights
My heart just wants to stray
Searching my mind, where did it fail
I just can’t define
I swear I would be happier in jail
But all I have now is wine.
