I remember the taste
Of that bitter kind of love
That taste that took me to the dogs
Hung me out to dry
Drained me, slaughtered me
Hung drawn and quartered me
Knocked me sideways with its punch
Left me reeling
For years
With that

Sideways step
That slight of hand
left me spinning
By a strand
Then cut me loose
Without a sound

Ohh yea

I remember that taste,
That bitter taste
That you called love
That I love you but I'm not in love
Cruel jibe
That nose dive with an empty promise frill

But still

I remembered
To remember
To return to
My naïve state of being
My open hearted, wide eyed
Child way of seeing
My before I met you dear
Way of feeling
But boy
Do I remember
That bitter taste
