Bitter Pill

It seemed so easy at the start When I left my heart Sitting on the roof of the car And drove off And I rushed to leave the past behind Forgot that heart was mine I didn't even know at the time I had one I put the pedal to the floor Heading for the western shore Thinking only of high times I had there Oh, I was cruel, cruel, cruel I thought I'd fly too high to fall But I never flew Never left the ground at all Greedy to get on the way I made that old mistake Of sneering at familiar streets And faces Did you marry someone good From our neighborhood? Or are you on the other side of the world Still searching? Oh, I was cruel, cruel, cruel I thought I'd fly too high to fall But I never flew Never left the ground at all, at all So next time, time, time I'll dream in days or on your mind Look me up 'cause I Never left those days behind, behind I've done some things I never should have done Now I've come down, don't tell me that I'm out of time Turn back your love upon a pie-eyed fool Forget the things I did When I was cruel, cruel, cruel I thought I'd fly too high to fall 'Cause I never flew Never left the ground at all, at all So next time, time, time I'll dream in days or on your mind Look me up 'cause I Never left those days behind, behind
