Paroles de I threw away the rose

Once i lived a 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
( steel )
I stood by and watched the bottle take a man of me
The turn i made was not the one i'd planned
And i watched my social friends slip away from me
While i watched the bottle slowly take command
But now i'm paying for...
Cause i kept the wine and threw away the rose
