Much thanks goes to Vague Rant for supplying me the lyrics to Bitter Heart. There is, of course, "More to Lose", the lyrics of which I completely stole from The Wily Filipino who got it from someone else. I figured out the lyrics to "Tell Her," and "You're On My Side," was kindly figured out by Stephen Rose.
More to Lose
We used to cry
About the day when one of us might fall
Weak and blindly into another's arms
Demands are gained from jealousies
Would flow like water drowning us
But leaving us with just another
Lover's false alarm
And now it's over
Both of us free
But I feel colder
A thousand tortured lives have fallen
Wounded dying cut down by the
Questions that we've sharpened
Just to save our losing days
We thought we'd nothing more to lose
We'd tear our hearts with jagged truths
And everything we'd hung to for so long
Just slipped away
And now it's over
Both of us free
And I feel colder
I was tired of thinking that
Our love can shine your thoughts
Of our arrangements
Were really not like mine
I thought it over
And it was plain to see the love you said
You once needed
Could just not come from me
And now it's over
Both of us free
And I feel colder
And now we're moving to new beginnings
But as we move we looked once behind
To see what we might find out
Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings
That lunge, tear and grasp
at lost wanting minds
You're On My Side
There's something dangerous
I'm scared to guess
The thought of nothing
Is tearing the caress
You're on my side
He said, "I've got a love
Though desperate people
Are saying that I've not"
You're on my side
My system's poison
I'm torn and there
They tire and waste me
They take and never share
You're on my side
Agree with me, give me a show
It's for me to know
They scratch me with their cut-your-ego game
And never take the blame
They shoot me down and stab me with their lie
To see me writhe
But I'm growing from their shattered self-esteem
I'm making new dreams
And with you on my side I could break up love today
And he'll die, walk away
Bitter Heart
You're losing out, now
You scowl and shout
Irrational accusations as I turn my head
Your threats and trials
My carven smiles
Revolts you in your torturous insecurities
With pleasured last goodbyes, I break the noise,
and we silently fly apart
I'll end the angered cries and the twisted joys
that rage in a bitter heart
Go on, hit me, do
I won't hit you
You'd love that too much, 'cause it means that they'd all hear
Tell them you're free and
Tell lies of me
I'm out of range now, so there's nothing more to fear
With pleasured last goodbyes, I break the noise,
and we silently fly apart
I'll end the angered cries and the twisted joys
that rage in a bitter heart
With pleasured last goodbyes, I break the noise,
and we silently fly apart
I'll end the angered cries and the twisted joys
that rage in a bitter heart
Tell Her
Stop looking at me
I, I know the time
We've not said it all,
and I'll have to fall
Just to tell her it's okay,
and to tell her I love her
That you're new to me,
and one day she'll see
So stick around
Sleep, lay down and dream
We've done what will hurt
We've not said it all,
and I'll have to fall
Just to tell her it's okay,
and to tell her I love her
That you're nil to me,
And hope that she sees
and sticks around
We've not said it all,
and I'll have to fall
Just to tell her it's okay,
and to tell her I love her
That you're nil to me,
And hope that she sees
and sticks around
