Bitter Wine Lyrics

I’ll drink bitter wine
I’ll eat humble pie
I’ll do all this
For some peace
I'll do all this for peace of mind

Can we trust each other
I'm not your keeper
No farewell sister
Try to have savoir-faire
Pretend like I just don't care
You'll do all this just to get high
I'll do all this to just get by

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I could be way off the intended mark here, but what I take from it is two people, using, who care for each other greatly. And each one is relying on the other to catch her when she moves over the mark from messing around to addict. But they're both descending at the same rate, and neither is reliable to say when things have got bad.
