The Bitter Suite

I was told when I was young

That we are all of us fools in love

So I’ve made up my mind

To leave lovers behind

I’ll make them a key

And invite them to stay with me

In the Bitter Suite

When I was old, I turned from sorrow

I went and forgot I wanted anything from tomorrow

Wish I had regrets

Wish I could shed a single tear

Wish I had the words

Wish I had heart enough to sing

"The Bitter Suite"

This strange sinking feeling that

Feels like it’s got away from me again

Well, it’s leaving me empty

With plenty of room for dreams

I never let myself have

For fear that they’ll finally come true

I’m glad that you’re here

And you see this wallpaper too

I confess I wasn’t sure I wanted you to

In the Bitter Suite I’ll stay and

I’ll make some room for you

With this bitter suite we’re singing

I’ll add harmonies for you

I was told that one day I’d miss

The days when the world came together like this

Don’t know what to say

I hate to say I told you so

Wish I could agree

Wish I had the guts to try the taste

Of something so bittersweet
