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 lies I told

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

(Uh-uh)
