Bitter Cup

(album: Better Times - 1992)

I don't mind
If tear this whole place
I could sit here and watch it burn
I don't care
If you leave this stupid town
Never to return

Was a time
In a dark and secret place
From your lips a lullaby
But I was blind
To the shadows on your face
The light can sometimes lie

Like a bolt out of the blue
No sweet dreams coming true
The bitter cup you handed me
Holds enough for two

I don't mind
If the mountains turn to dust
I'd say you were to blame
I don't care if they crucify the just
And do it in your name

Like a bolt out of the blue
No sweet dreams coming true
The bitter cup you handed me
I give back to you

When you held me in your arms
And kissed my cares away
You said my cares were false alarms
And love was here to stay
