Bitter Pill

I keep a garden here, tending it through time

But soil and sweat could never seem take you from my mind

And like it all I can only try to turn our fate

Dreams I planted dying in your wake

It’s a bitter pill to take

And it’s a similar reaction that there’s no hiding from

Seasons change and come around, we learn from this my love

Shake the chains of compromise for both of our sakes

But it doesn’t really matter what I say

It’s a bitter pill to take

If you’ll come back to me this time, babe

To share what we both miss

I need your love here and I miss your tender kisses baby so bad

Though you ain’t here by my side the part of you remains

That didn’t leave me all alone, standing in the rain

That didn’t follow when you finally closed the garden gate

It’s a bitter pill to take

You departed just before the winds began to change

Ain’t you lived enough to know things never stay the same

Thinking love would stand up to all things in its wake

I extend an invitation anyway

It’s a bitter pill to take

Wrap your arms around me once again

To share in this embrace

Try one more time to love me, if it’s not too late

And you know it ain’t

I keep a garden here, tending it through time

But soil and sweat could never seem take you from my mind

You turn your eyes away from me, I try to save face

The dreams I planted dying in your wake

It’s a bitter pill to take

Loneliness

A bitter pill to take
