The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had to Swallow) (first version)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh

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 mine to swallow
The love I gave
Hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadows

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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 mine to swallow
The love I gave
Hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadow-oh, oh, oh's

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more i-i-i-ill

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more i-i-i-ill

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The bitterest pill
Is mine to swallow
The love I gave
Hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadow-oh, oh, oh's

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more i-i-i-ill

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more ill-i-i-ill

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more i-i-i-ill

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more i-i-ill, i-i-ill

Yeah, eh, eh, yeah, yeah

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
And if I took if for a hundred years
I couldn't feel any more i-i-i-ill

The bitterest pill
Is mine to take
If I took if for a hundred years
