I was so bitter

Oh, I don't know what it is

Can't place it

The man wants to stay so I erase him

Left so often at the foot of his bed

Crumpled up with his sheets the morning after

 

Oh, I was so bitter

but I am better now

 

You might have seen me, I was trying

But don't you see that I was sliding,

down that spiral, I was dying

Left so often so wide open

Got it together just the same!

I didn't let you board my train

 

Oh, I was so bitter

but I am better now

 

You may have had me in your pocket

You may have broken into me

Left so often so wide open

Got it together just the same!

I didn't let you board my train
