Lyrics

Bittersweet Denial
Words and Music © 2001 Henry E. Harris III


I?ve seen this scene over and over
We?ve been through this more than I can count
I?ve played this dream over and over
It never seems to ever work out
There are some things you just can?t count on
Sadly I think you?re one ? of those
And I?m tired of this endless fighting, and only coming up close
Its over ? no getting over

Chorus:
If you?re leaving don?t look back ? and I won?t follow
The reason I ain?t grieving? is because I?m in denial
Am I crazy or just lazy, because I can?t let you go?
But it?s safer to stay here ? in my bitter-sweet denial
Pull the wool over ? because something?s there?s just no getting over

I hear the thunder roll over and over
And I wait for the storm to pass
But each day goes around just like the last one
They all end up swirled at the bottom of the glass
There are some things you just can?t get over
Sadly I think your one ? of those
I?ve given you all I know how to, and still I keep coming up close
It?s over ? no getting over

Chorus:
If you?re leaving don?t look back ? and I won?t follow
The reason I ain?t grieving? is because I?m in denial
Am I crazy or just lazy, because I can?t let you go?
But it?s safer to stay here ? in my bitter-sweet denial
Pull the wool over ? because something?s there?s just no getting over

(Solo / Bridge)

Chorus:
If you?re leaving don?t look back ? and I won?t follow
The reason I ain?t grieving? is because I?m in denial
Am I crazy or just lazy, because I can?t let you go?
But it?s safer to stay here ? in my bitter-sweet denial
Pull the wool over ? because something?s there?s just no getting over
