The Champagne of Shame

You, alone, can be my remedy of relief
You, alone, can be the cure to my grief
Because of you, my temporary highs don't easily wear off
Because if you are here, life would be less tough and I build skin that's rough 
I'm strong 
Cuz I belong
I long 
To be on your tongue 
And on your mind, swinging along 
All alone, all along or maybe I'm the one in the wrong 
Oooooh oooooh ooooh
Mmmm mmmmm mmmm

Champagne of shame is what I consume
Shadows of you leave me with no room for gloom or upcoming doom
Because You, alone, are on my mind day and night
Not everything in your eyes are plain black and white 
If it was, what's the point of living this life?
What's the point of living this lie of abominable strife?
All my life, I was struck by tragedy's knife
It kills me to say this, but I want this sadness, this ache, this hideous me to end because I'll never find my true love, my dear dove, my wowmazing wife
Did you listen to the tune from the young lover? 
The complete stranger of glistening gladness is whispering in my ear, saying it's not over
The volcano of vibrancy glows as you and I collide into each other 
Did you get my drift? Did you lift me higher than the skyscraper?
Our past, present and future isn't a mighty blur,
But a rather vital, priceless wisdom, greater than words can describe that's for sure!
More touching and comforting than a feline's purr 

You, alone, are my darling devil 
You, alone, are good and evil 
I made you angeled eggs to bring you light from above 
But instead you shed your innocent, yet unconditional love...
Unchanging love...
Unpredictable love...
Because I want you with or without me
I crave your elegant glee and are my lovely tree 

Unbearable thoughts barreling through my head
Giving me loads of dread and I'm a book left unread 
I am the hardened bread in the trash instead 
You, alone, can puff me up with passionate joy
You, alone, have made me a worthless toy...
Now, what am I to do now that I'm a heartbroken boy?
You, alone, can be my remedy of relief
