The Bitter End

from A Pretty Little One by The Late Joys

/

lyrics

Is she really there or is she in your dreams
And when she says she cares, she's not what she seems
Still you pretend, hanging on beyond the bitter end

In a moment she is here and far away
You would speak to her: There's nothing left to say
Some idle chat, but you've already had enough of that

You thought you had it all but you still beg and you still crawl
She takes advantage, you take the fall

You walk about, she turns heads while you turn inside out

You want to think you're in control but you've been bartered, you've been sold
Do what you please, she's tugging at your sleeve
And you make up but it's just make believe

First she stole your heart, but now she steals the scene
She'll tear you apart while you split at the seams
Still you pretend, hanging on beyond the bitter end
Then try again, hanging on beyond the bitter end
She's not your friend, hanging on beyond the bitter end
Then try again, hanging on beyond the bitter end
