Bitter Wine
Badscandal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Let′s face the situation.
So much complication.
You tear my world apart.
So much time wasted running and chasing.
Now we're back at the start.

Now who.
Who′s the one that's loving you.

Of all the lies that we created.
Disguised that we are naked.
Standing in the dark.
Someone turn the lights on.
It's hiding in my mind.
Hiding all the time.

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making

Replace the situation.
Erase all conversation.
Don′t tear my world apart.
So much time wasted.
Running and chasing .
Now we′re back at the start

Now who.
Who's the one that′s loving you.
Of all the lies that we created.
Disguised that we are naked.
Standing in the dark.
Someone turn the lights on.
It's hiding in my mind.
Hiding all the time.

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making

I am so suffocated with all this time I wasted
This bitter wine im tasting is all the pain your making
