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
