The Bitter Pill lyrics

Sometimes I'm lost

and then I'm found.

Sometimes I feel

turned inside out.

I'm often silent 

when I'm screaming inside.

Instead of love,

we tend to hate.

We never quite appreciate

how much the other person 

cares or tries.

Hold me close,

don't ever let me go

'cause I'm confused,

but maybe someday I will know why...

...sometimes I'm right as rain

and when it rains, it pours.

You're such a mystery.

Why can't I unlock the door?

All that glitters isn't gold,

too much is overkill.

Love can be beautiful

or a bitter pill.

And when I'm right,

I'm also wrong.

We give and take

to get along.

There's so much more to this 

than I ever dreamed.

And when you smile,

I have to laugh.

And when you cry,

I'm torn in half,

so calm and yet so loose 

at the seams.

Hold me close,

don't ever let me go.

I'm confused,

but maybe someday I will know why...

...sometimes I'm right as rain

and when it rains, it pours.

You're such a mystery.

Why can't I unlock the door?

All that glitters isn't gold,

too much is overkill.

Love can be beautiful

or a bitter pill.

[Opera:]1

Liebe kann eine bittere Pille sein.

(Eine bittere Pille)

Liebe ist eine bittere Pille.

(Eine bittere Pille)

Liebe kann eine bittere Pille sein.

[Mad German:]1  

Ich will ein Bier.

Ich will besoffen sein.

Die ganze Welt ist dumm.

Mir steht es so im Hals.

Ich sage dir,

die Liebe kann nur Lüge sein.

Hold me close,

don't ever let me go

'cause I'm confused,

but maybe someday I will know why...

...sometimes I'm right as rain

and when it rains, it pours.

You're such a mystery.

Why can't I unlock the door?

All that glitters isn't gold,

too much is overkill.

Love can be beautiful

or a bitter pill,

or a bitter pill.
