Bitter Moon - Mark King

Sweet promises to break my heart

You talk of love and I begin to trust

I don’t know why I’m scared

Those kissing words they climb inside my head

They cloud my mind like purest poison

When I’m with you it feels so dangerous

I don’t know why I’m scared

It’s driving me crazy

Bitter moon always betrays me

Betrays me

I know your thoughts I’ve read your diaries

My fingers burn as I turn the page

You spoke of love my tears have turned to dust

I don’t know why I care

I’m asking you to give me more than this

I need to feel beyond the pain

The rain returns to rearrange the rust

I don’t know why I care

It’s driving me crazy

Bitter moon always betrays me

Betrays me

It’s cold and it’s crazy

Bitter moon always betrays me

Betrays me

Cold sun in a wet rocky sky

A broken beach where the waves come to die

I walk alone with fear in my heart

Still I deny we’re falling apart

Cyclops shines through the legendary night

The living tale of a time we thought we might

The open grave of the shallowness of blame

Still I try to hold on to the flame

A cold sun like the steel in your eyes

The day you said goodbye was the day you saw me die

A cold sun no heat for my heart

Still I deny we’re falling apart

It’s driving me crazy

Bitter moon always betrays me

Betrays me

It’s cold and it’s crazy

Bitter moon always betrays me

Betrays me
