In your white lace and your wedding bells
|
You look the picture of contented new wealth
|
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
|
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
|
For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
|
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
|
|
When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me
|
Out of grey skies to change my misery
|
The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
|
Now watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room
|
|
For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
|
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
|
|
The bitterest pill is mine to take
|
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill
|
|
The bitterest pill is mine to take
|
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill
|
|
Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
|
Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight
|
The dying spark, you left your mark on me
|
The promise of your kiss, but with someone else
|
|
For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
|
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows
|
|
The bitterest pill is mine to take
|
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill!
