Life, Love, and Everything In Between

im kinda scared

to become the man in the song Cheers Darlin by Damien Rice. He is so bitter and spitebul, but he wears his emotions on his sleave (possibly with a little help from wine). So much of this is me, but some of it isn't.

Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin'
I got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin'
I've got your wedding bells in my ear
Cheers darlin
'You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away
And I die when you mention his name
And I lied, I should have kissed you
When we were running the reins
What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?
Cheers darlin'
Here's to you and your lover man
Cheers darlin'
I just hang around and eat from a can
Cheers darlin'
I got a ribbon of green on my guitar
Cheers darlin'
I got a beauty queen
To sit not very far from me
I die when he comes around
To take you home
I'm too shy
I should have kissed you when we were alone
What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?
Oh what am I?
What am I darlin'?
I got years to wait...

This was obviously written as a wedding toast, but it hit me with a new sting today. I hope to never be this bitter, but i can see how easy it would be
