Bitter Pill

Lyrics

Maddie lived in West LA
 Long brown hair with bangs that lay
 Upon her brow, tanned lightly by the sun
 Her sparkling eyes were crystal blue
 When she stared, she'd see right through you
 Toy with your emotions just for fun
 Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
 She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
 She worked down at the topless bar
 Saved enough to buy a car
 A rusty-red, forgotten Chevrolet
 Too many nights with nothing to show
 Counting tips while her frustration grows
 Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
 She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
 She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
 ♪
 Alone
 "Now is there something wrong with me, she cried
 "I feel like something deep inside me died" Mm, mm
 Maddie found another town
 But her past followed her around
 Wherever she would run to, there she was
 Baby, don't you leave me, baby, don't go
 But streets are for deciding, I suppose
 Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
 She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
 She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
 The cycle starts, it feels brand new
 But she's been here a time or two
 Maddie can't be happy if she ain't free
