Once upon a time our world was on fire And I loved to watch it burn Wild and reckless, never any limits Guess I had a lot to learn 'Cause fire turns to ember, embers to ashes that blow away too soon Now everything's after you is like Having wine after whiskey It went from do anything for you, babe To you don't even miss me Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back And you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine after whiskey Looking back I guess it was really for the best Still you're something that I crave Even though I know it was right to let you go You're a habit hard to break I got used to being high and nothing that I try seems good enough right now It's all so watered down Like having wine after whiskey It went from do anything for you, babe To you don't even miss me Once you've tasted a love that strong You can't go back and you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine after whiskey Once you've tasted a love that strong you can't go back And you can't settle on anything less And that's what gets me It's like having wine It's like having wine After whiskey
