Bitter Woman

Oh, pretty woman
I would love to break your heart
But I just don’t want to start this again

And all that makes me happy
Is my fingers through your hair
But I can’t see myself tearing you apart

I don’t mind your fingernails in my skin time to time
Just right, we won’t find the answer to the silence in our minds

Oh, pretty woman
I would love to call you mine
But I just don't have the time to feel alone
But you’ve gone and left me with your kisses on my hands
It makes me want to take you home

It’s alright
I would rather wake up to myself at dawn
We’ll be fine
If we cover up our eyes and ears, then talk
Don’t talk

Oh, lovely woman
I could do to see you cry
But I haven’t half the mind to hold you close
Tell me of sorrows that have darkened your eyes so
And I’ll bandage up the raw parts of your soul

It’s alright
I would rather wake up to myself at dawn
Is it wise
To cut each other deep before we walk?
Just walk

Oh, bitter woman
You can blame it all on me
But I want you to believe that we are gone
I’ll plant a row of daisies down your spine
So you can know of your beauty all the time
