        Why no pills today?                        
        Bitter tears                               
        7:00 A.M. and wasting away       
        Bitter tears                              
        Why no knock on my door?                 
        Bitter tears                             
        What did I come here for?                
        Bitter tears

        How much do you need 
        Bitter tears 
        Give me love and see me bleed 
        Bitter tears 
        Please don't hurt me tonight 
        Bitter tears 
        I've lost the will to fight 
        Bitter tears

       If I go then I'll go clean
       Bitter tears
       Making love inside a dream
       Bitter tears
       Burn the books of history
       Bitter tears
       Build a home for you and me
       Bitter tears
