Name: Cheap Wine
Duration: P00H02M51S
Description: “Cheap Wine” is about letting go of a toxic relationship. You know that even if you would try to go back, it’s not gonna be the same - you don’t miss the person, but rather the good times. This bordeaux-colored, almost dystopian R’n’B song is the introduction to my new era, which is closer to pop than my jazzy debut album.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I know we're over but
A part of me keeps holding onto you
Although we're never gonna be the same
I catch myself hoping that
You would come through

We went from best friends
To enemies and back again
I learned my lessons,
Should've just left before I went insane

Cuz we were good
But we were bound to fail
We were like cheap wine
Cuz cheap wine don't age well

We had the wrong combination
Didn't know better
Exploded like toxic waste
Time and time again
We were good
But we were bound to
We were bound to fail

Some nights I dream of you
And wake up, trying to
fall back asleep
I don't remember the last time we met
But I can't seem to forget
The things you did to me

We went from best friends
To enemies and back again
I should've left while I had the chance,
now it's too late
