Bitter Tears

Look away, look away from the past
Think ahead, think ahead so you'll last another day
And the days are so long

And you'll get by
But gettin' by is just another way to say half dead
And you think you'd rather live your life instead
Of just gettin' by

Don't you know, don't you know
It's bound to keep you up all night
Wonderin' where and how it all went wrong that night
It all went wrong

So keep in mind, keep in mind
You're not to blame bitter tears
Bitter tears can fall like rain on your fields
And those fields need that rain, it need that rain

So look away
And think ahead
And live your life
And cry those tears
Cry bitter tears
