THE BITTEREST PILL - Paul Weller



In your white lace and your wedding bells

You look the picture of contented new wealth

But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies

I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive



For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows



When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me

Out of grey skies to change my misery

The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place

But now I watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room



For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows



The bitterest pill is mine to take

If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill



Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life

Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight

The dying spark, you left your mark on me

The promise of your kiss, but with someone else



For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow

The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows



The bitterest pill is mine to take

If I took if for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill
