Bittersweet |
| Don’t talk to me in that familiar way |
| When the keys are in my hand |
| Don’t say that everything is here to stay |
| And I must try to understand |
| When I’m trying not to look into your eyes |
| Trying not to listen to your lies |
| Trying just to keep hold of myself |
| Oh but it’s hard when you leave me on the shelf |
| You say that I set a path for you to follow |
| And I’ve already given in |
| But I only meant for you to taste not swallow |
| Where I end is where you must begibn |
| So try not to look into their eyes |
| Try not to listen to their lies |
| Try just to keep hold of yourself |
| Oh I know it’s hard when they leave you on their shelf |
| She’s such a sweet girl |
| Free of the taints of this world |
| Think that’s a compliment |
| Don’t be so full of sentiment |
| Why you worship sweetness |
| What virtue’s there in weakness |
| Being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know |
