lyrics

They weren't looking for much cause their hearts were still hurting
Just some physical touch to help wash away
All those nights they were lonely, abandoned, and flirting
with ideas of putting an end to their pain

Her boyfriend had left her after revealing
a year and a half of infidelity
His girlfriend skipped town without so much as a goodbye
just a note that proclaimed there's so much more I can be

So you bring the wine, you bring the roses
You'll get us drunk, we'll play the game
I'll pretend to love you so that I can touch you
and you'll do your best to remember my name

Their meetings were brief and there was no mistaking
what lied beneath their exterior walls
Oh, the transparent quaking as they claimed they had moved on
Was ignored by the other for lack of their own resolve

And it seemed like they suffered from a lack of compassion
But their minds would just wander where they wanted to be
They weren't there for each other, they were just taking action
To trade in for a moment their burdens for peace

So you bring the wine, you bring the roses
You'll get us drunk, we'll play the game
I'll pretend to love you so that I can touch you
and you'll do your best to remember my name

The poisonous vine, thorns near the petal
What's yours is mine, it's all the same
I'll pretend to love you so that I can touch you
and you'll do your best to remember my name

So you bring the wine, you bring the roses
You'll get us drunk, we'll play the game
I'll pretend to love you so that I can touch you
and you'll do your best to remember my name
