Bitter Pill

Annie Lennox

Bitter pill to swallow

Slidin' down my throat

Bitter pill to swallow

How it makes me choke

How the hell am I gonna find

Happiness and peace of mind

When I'm losin' all the time?

Yes... bitter



Don't you ever call me

I don't wanna see your face

Don't you dare to call me

Don't darken up this place

What the hell d'ya expect from me?

Emptiness and misery

Took it all away ya see

Yes... bitter



Ooh it means nothin' to me

Ooh you mean nothin' to me

Ooh it means nothin' to me

I paid the price

Sacrificed

Sacrificed...



Bitter pill to swallow

How can I abide

The taste of rage and anger

Burnin' me inside?

How the hell

Will it ever change?

Slowly drivin' me insane

Let me cover up this pain

Yes... bitter



When I'm feelin' low

And there's no place to go

And I'm on my knees

Fallen back down on the floor

And I've had enough

And the situation's tough

And I'm hangin' on

By my nails

Holdin' on... hopin' I won't fail

This is what reality is made of can't

You see I'm relatively twisted



Laid myself upon you

Underneath your feet

Laid myself upon you

Didn't that look sweet?

Finally the truth has come

Guess I know it all along

Nothing else I could have done

Yes ...

Bitter

Bitter

I'm bitter

So bitter
