Black and blue heart in two Her perfume creeps into my room tonight Troubled eyes make up hides A tear that found it's way into her life (Chorus) And now she's Sweeping up the broken dreams Acting out the final scene Savoring the bittersweet taste of love Keep aloof with the proof That's bottled up inside you on the shelf Sugar pill icy chill You only ache from beating up yourself (Chorus version 2) And now I'm bailing out the sympathy Hoping you'll consider me Drowning in the bittersweet pool of love Seems the more I reach The further I'm falling From her tree (They) tell you love is sweet But watch when you take a bite You may spoil your appetite Woke today To the rain That trickled down between My window pain Nothing new but for you Another man to Take the other's place (Chorus version 3) And now I'm Counting down the calories You only want me in between Choking on the bittersweet taste of love
