Poison

People gazed and people said:
"It looked so beautiful when you two danced
Oh, it was magical, we all could tell
He really loves you too, in his own way."

Yes, that is right, all this is true,
But it's not magic, no, it's just the booze
Whisky brings out the "love" in him
A "love" that when he's sober, he cannot feel

I was all new to this "spirits" thing
I just did not know, 'cause I never used to drink
I wondered how a bond that seemed so strong
When we were together, be suddenly gone?

Well, it's quite simple, nothing is real
It's only the alcohol that he feels
I had to learn all this the hardest way:
His love disappeared came the light of day

It's quite confusing and awfully cruel
you feel like an idiot, a gawd-damn fool
When the love that you feel for him
Was never the drugs, but in fact the real thing

Yes, it is sad, but sadly it's true:
There is no magic, there is only booze
Whisky brings out his "love" for me
A love that when he's sober, he never feels
