TRUTH’S A BITTER PILL Verse 1: It was April It was raining Early in the afternoon Verse 2: There was lightning There was thunder And I was missing you Pre-chorus: Poured some consolation A shot of 80 proof Magnified the lonely It clarified the truth Chorus: The windows shook, I shuddered Truth’s – a bitter pill I tasted love, I lost it Truth’s – a bitter pill Verse 3: I was sorry I was angry Mostly with myself Verse 4: I was so stupid And oh so selfish To put you through this hell Pre-chorus Chorus: The windows shook, I shuddered Truth’s – a bitter pill I tasted love, I lost it Truth’s – a bitter pill Threw away what mattered Truth’s a bitter pill I take the blame and I swallow Truth’s a bitter pill Bridge: I stared at that empty bottle Like a crystal ball I saw that life without you Was no life at all Chorus Lyrics: Carroll Kiphen Music: Robert Baitinger All instruments: Robert Baitinger
