I Threw Away The Rose

Lyrics
Once i lived the life of wine and roses And 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 But 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 I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn i made was not the one i'd planned And i watched my social standings slip away from me While i watched the bottle slowly take command And 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 'Cause i kept the wine and threw away the rose
