Joker's Republic - Gin And Tonic

Once upon a time there lived a not-so happy couple of kids
Who thought they fell in love and to that end we tried to commit
But that commitment didn't come without a cost
Oh now we've gotta pay the price

We should've called it when we saw the signs but we missed the hint
And tried to force the plot along when we should have quit
The tear streams down her face were fresh from every night
And the bruises that she gave me, no they never healed right

When we were good it was perfect,
I never wanted anything more than what we had when things were good
But therein lies the problem, things were rarely good between us
And when they were the time was short

Cause she was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic
We mixed so well but that don't mean we weren't toxic
You know it was bad when all our friends learned to stay away
She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic
At least she had the guts to say she didn't want this
And it took some time to see that she was right, there's got to be a better life

There's got to be a better life

I always thought of fighting as a normal thing people did
Because how else are you supposed to show you're invested?
I spent a lot of time surrounded by that environment
So I guess I'm numb to the consequence

She didn't treat me like a person, very far from it
Instead to her I don't think I was more than possession
How did I go from being super ultra mad
To begging her to stick around, what the hell was up with that?

Oh, I'm not gonna claim that I didn't make mistakes
But I'm not the only one who knew how to make a heart break

Cause she was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic
We mixed so well but that don't mean we weren't toxic
You know it was bad when all our friends learned to stay away
She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic
At least she had the guts to say she didn't want this
And it took some time to see that she was right, there's got to be a better life

One drink too many can start blurring all the crossed lines
One drink too many can exempt even the worst lies
One drink too many can make everything feel oh so fine
But one drink too many can destroy

One drink too many can start blurring all the crossed lines
One drink too many can exempt even the worst lies
One drink too many can make everything feel oh so fine
But one drink too many can destroy your mind

She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic
We mixed so well but that don't mean we weren't toxic
You know it was bad when all our friends learned to stay away
She was sour like gin, and I'm bitter like tonic
At least she had the guts to say she didn't want this
And it took some time to see that she was right, there's got to be a better life

There's got to be a better life
There's got to be a better life
There's got to be a better life
