Poison & Wine written by John Paul White, Joy Williams & Chris Lindsey

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

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

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 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

Poison & Wine is a musical snapshot about the dichotomy of love - that while it can be the thing that destroys you, it can also be the very same thing that beckons and builds you. This song was our attempt at being as brutally honest about the dangerous and beautiful process of knowing and being known. (-Joy Williams, The Civil Wars)

The Civil Wars are Joy Williams & John Paul White.

Its insane how many emotions this song brings out. And the video makes you crave the energy between them. Incredible.

If Taylor Swift brought you here, please go away.

Really? I always thought it was about an unhealthy relationship filled with problems, fights and pain, but still had so much passion and love in it neither one could end it and leave. I always felt like it was about two people who couldn't let each other go no matter how painful and destructive the relationship was. But I guess we all hear it differently.

Lol @ "her latest songs are a bit err" cos I agree. For some reason Swifties seem to have quite good taste in music.

Taylor Swift brought me here and I'm glad she did. Now I'm hooked on to the Civil Wars.

I love this song. I think it's about two best friends who have fallen in love but they can't be together for whatever reason, so they're hiding their feelings for each other, even though they both know.

Powerful song...but John Paul While and Joy Williams could be actors. How moving a portrayal of a song!

[Calvin Magnus]

If you think people cannot enjoy this song because they enjoy other music genres, please go away.
