Analysis of Lover Done Wrong
I promised to love her for the rest of my life
With dreams of a bright future she became my wife
But Johnnie Walker was a close friend of mine
He was always with us
We were never apart
I lost my marriage and the bottle won my heart
Trying to hold on is hard when you’re always hung over
Days are short and the nights are even longer
So here’s to another lover done wrong
She picked up, packed up
She’s gone gone gone
Now I’m stuck in the middle of somewhere
With nowhere to go
They say time heals all wounds
But it’s sure moving slow
The winds of change are blowing tonight
I hit my rock bottom when she said goodbye
Trying to hold on is hard when you’re always hung over
Days are short and the nights are even longer
So here’s to another lover done wrong
She picked up, packed up
She’s gone gone gone
