Roses & Wine
Ala.ni Lyrics

You brought roses and wine
You made a gesture of love and affection towards me.

Then ran out of time
Then, for some reason, you had to leave before we could truly connect or spend time together.

Where are you going to?
I am wondering where you went, and if you will return.

You said "I'll be back at night"
You promised to return to me later in the day.

A comfort to my mind
This promise brought me a sense of assurance.

Am I a fool?
I am questioning whether I am foolish for believing you or for staying with you.

Do you really care, my lover my friend?
I am wondering whether you truly feel the depth of love and friendship that we share.

Then stay with me 'till the (...) of end
If you truly care, then promise to stay with me forever.

(...) that sounds last goodbye
I fear that you might be leaving me soon and that it could be forever.

No more roses and wine
I no longer want or need any romantic gestures from you, as they have lost their value.

With you...
I no longer want them from you, specifically.

Where are you going to?
Again, I am left wondering where you went and if you will come back.

Am I a fool?
I continue to question my own judgement and decision to be with you.

Have you made your bed
Have you made a choice or a commitment to someone else?

Sweet lover to friend
Your actions and feelings towards me have turned from those of a passionate lover to those of a casual friend.

Confusing me with your arms (...)
You are misleading me by holding me and making physical gestures of affection, while your heart is elsewhere.

So until you can decide
I cannot continue to be with you until you make a concrete decision about what you truly want.

No more roses and wine
Once again, I am rejecting any romantic gestures from you until things become clear.

With you...
Although I still love you, I cannot continue like this with you specifically.

And where are you going to leave me
I need you to be transparent with me about your intentions, so that I can understand where I stand in your life.

I am lost, can you find me?
I am in a state of confusion, and I need your guidance and clarity.

You promised you would save me
You gave me hope that you could help me, but now it appears to be a false promise.

So why am I sad and lonely
If you truly cared about me, then why am I feeling this way?

Believe me this (...) easy
It is not easy for me to express my vulnerability and pain to you, but I need you to understand how I feel.

This time (...) sorry...
I am hopeful that this time things will be different, but I am not yet convinced that you truly understand how you hurt me.

Release me
I need closure and to be released from any lingering emotions or attachments that I may have towards you.

I am begging you to stop
I need you to stop toying with my emotions and to give me the clarity and respect that I deserve.

You returned just after night
You did eventually come back to me, but it was later than you promised.

With more roses and wine
You tried to make up for your absence and your previous mistakes by bringing more gifts of love and affection, hoping to regain my trust.

And some candy too
You are using sweet words and material gifts to distract me from the heart of the issue, which is your lack of permanency and sincerity.

Go give them to your wife
You are betraying me by being married to someone else, and by using gifts that were meant for me and our relationship to satisfy her instead.

Keep her satisfied
You are more concerned with pleasing your wife than with being honest and fair with me and our feelings.

Gosh she loves you
Your wife is infatuated with you and accepts many of your flaws and mistakes, but I cannot do the same anymore.

And you love her
You may have feelings for me, but you have made a commitment to someone else that overrides them.

And you love me
You may have strong feelings for me, but they are not enough to overcome the obstacles and the betrayal that characterize our relationship.
