You could get down on your knees and beg me to come home
And be talkin' to a man that wouldn't come
'Cause once you bring the curtain down on love that used to be
I think it's there forever, darlin', once it's done

I know it hurts your pride to know that I no longer care
You thought I'd stay home waitin' all alone
I know you've spent a world of time takin' love away
And I think it's gone forever, darlin', once it's gone

I think it's gone forever once it's been erased
Once you drink the devil's wine, you can't forget the taste
And once your heart's been broke in two, you won't forget too soon
'Cause once you sever all there is, time can't heal the wounds

I think it's gone forever once it's been erased
Once you drink the devil's wine, you can't forget the taste
And once your heart's been broke in two, you won't forget too soon
'Cause once you sever all there is, time can't heal the wounds
