I Swallow The Bitterness


                  Watching the clock past midnight
                  No place to go
                  Nothing to do
                  Sometimes I think I'm living for this
                  Watching people from the bar,
                  Sipping iced tea
                  Anything else is too strong
                  But I can feel the caffeine,
                  I know when the sugar hits
                  I'll feel a little better.
                  I can't go home
                  No home to go home to
                  No arms waiting.
                  The waitress brings more tea
                  I forgot to add the sugar
                  No place to spit
                  I swallow the bitterness
                  Then I think again
                  Watch the clock
                  It's almost morning now
                  No place to go
                  Nothing to do
                  I can't go home
                  No home to go home to;
                  I swallow the bitterness.
