Letra de
Poison And Wine

A música foi escrita pela dupla The Civil Wars, formada por Joy Williams e John Paul White, e reflete as complexidades das relações humanas, sugerindo um amor complexo e ambivalente. A letra detalha sentimentos contraditórios dentro de um relacionamento, oscilando entre o amor e a relutância em amar. Este tema universal, juntamente com a bela melodia, contribuiu para o sucesso da música.

You only know what I want you to,
I know everything you don't want me to.
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
Oh you think your dreams are the same as mine

oh I don't love you, but I always will,
oh I don't love you, but I always will.
I don't love you, but I always will,
I always, will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back,
The less I give, the more I get back
Ooh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise,
I don't have a choice, but I still choose you

Oh I don't love you, but I always will,
oh I don't love you, but I always will
I don't love you, but I always will,
oh I don't love you, but I always will.
I don't love you, but I always will,
I don't love you, but I always will.
I don't love you, but I always will,
I always, will.

I always, will
I always, will
I always, will
I always, will
