So much wine

I had nothing to say on Christmas day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way

But when you fell asleep
With blood on your teeth
I got in my car and drove away

Listen to me, butterfly, there's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass

Where the state highway starts, I parked my car
I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors dived and shot across the sky
I thought about your sad, shining eyes

I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
But you were still passed out on the floor

Listen to me, butterfly, there's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
