Gin and Tonic

Once upon a time there lived a not-so happy couple of kids Who thought they fell in love and to that end we tried to commit But that commitment didn't come without a cost Oh now we've gotta pay the price We should've called it when we saw the signs but we missed the hint And tried to force the plot along when we should have quit The tear streams down her face were fresh from every night And the bruises that she gave me, no they never healed right When we were good it was perfect, I never wanted anything more than what we had when things were good But therein lies the problem, things were rarely good between us And when they were the time was short Cause she was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic We mixed so well but that don't mean we weren't toxic You know it was bad when all our friends learned to stay away She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic At least she had the guts to say she didn't want this And it took some time to see that she was right, there's got to be a better life There's got to be a better life I always thought of fighting as a normal thing people did Because how else are you supposed to show you're invested? I spent a lot of time surrounded by that environment So I guess I'm numb to the consequence She didn't treat me like a person, very far from it Instead to her I don't think I was more than possession How did I go from being super ultra mad To begging her to stick around, what the hell was up with that? Oh, I'm not gonna claim that I didn't make mistakes But I'm not the only one who knew how to make a heart break Cause she was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic We mixed so well but that don't mean we weren't toxic You know it was bad when all our friends learned to stay away She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic At least she had the guts to say she didn't want this And it took some time to see that she was right, there's got to be a better life One drink too many can start blurring all the crossed lines One drink too many can exempt even the worst lies One drink too many can make everything feel oh so fine But one drink too many can destroy One drink too many can start blurring all the crossed lines One drink too many can exempt even the worst lies One drink too many can make everything feel oh so fine But one drink too many can destroy your mind She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic We mixed so well but that don't mean we weren't toxic You know it was bad when all our friends learned to stay away She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic At least she had the guts to say she didn't want this And it took some time to see that she was right, there's got to be a better life There's got to be a better life There's got to be a better life There's got to be a better life
