The Bitterest Pill

In your white lace and your wedding veils

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



The bitterest pill is hard to swallow

The love I gave hangs in sad-colored, mocking shadows



When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me

Out of gray skies, to change my misery

The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place

Now I 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-colored, mocking shadows



The bitterest pill is mine to take

If I took if 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 for someone else!



For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

The love I gave hangs in sad-colored, mocking shadows



The bitterest pill is mine to take

If I took if for a hundred years I couldn't feel any more ill
