Bittersweet

there's your man
bittersweet
you hold him
dangling
holds three fingers
and sneers
"how many fingers, dear?"
you cross
your legs
he gets to your
head again

when you feel this way
do you tell your friends?
do you hide your face
with your hands?

we asleep
bittersweet
time has passed
it's time
i'll keep
feeling strong
this ain't wrong
if so,
you would not
take me home

when you feel this way
do you tell your friends?
do you jump for joy
to music in your head?

and you understand
when the night falls
deep
and a silence comes
washing over me
and you take my hand
and you make it right
and you make your love
and fall back asleep

when you feel this way
do you tell your friends?
do you hide your face
with your hands?
