Letras
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
The bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad colored mocking shadows
Yeah, hey
[Verse 3]
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 watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room
[Verse 4]
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 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 anymore ill
[Verse 5]
Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
Twisted and broken down, no days with sunlight
The dying spark, you left your mark on me
The promise of your kiss, but with someone else
[Verse 6]
For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad colored mocking shadows
The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
The bitterest pill is mine to take
Give it to me for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill, ill, yeah, yeah, yeah
