Bitter Oranges

Your words were bitter oranges Hanging ripe from a tree Like any child I took a stick And tried to knock one down for me The branches I was wiggling, oh To get you to acknowledge me Your words were bitter oranges Living high and looking down on me You held them thinking I'd never leave But when I did you set one free I ran back quickly and I ate, oh, Your perfect unforgiving bait And now we're talking like Nothing's happened, right? You're now talking to Bet you don't know who Your words were bitter oranges I stung my mouth crushing seeds I tried to smile but then I spit And there you go again, you leave You're never gonna love me back Oh, but then again you never have And we're still talking like Nothing's happened, right? This you're talking to Bet you don't know who And now we're talking like Nothing's happened, right? This you're talking to Bet you don't know who
