Bitter End (Made In Muscle Shoals)
[Verse 1]
I’m trying too hard to pretend, lately
Quit changin' the rules that I bend, daily
I’m wastin' the time that I spend, chasing
The you that I hold in my head, escaping
[Chorus]
With you under my skin I’m sinkin'
Getting stoned with my friends I think of you
But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust
In the bitter end, baby
[Verse 2]
The soles of the shoes on my feet, are faded
And all of the people I meet, are waitin'
For letters I’ll never complete, sayin'
The world that I built in my dreams, is cavin' in
[Chorus]
With you under my skin I’m sinkin'
Getting stoned with my friends I think of you
But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust
In the bitter end, baby
[Verse 3]
Why’d you fuck with my heart?
It’s plain to see
I was holdin' on to more than this could ever be
I read it but I don’t believe it
I said it but I don’t regret it at all, baby
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
With you under my skin I’m sinkin'
Getting stoned with my friends I think of you
But even the Midas touch is gonna turn to rust
In the bitter end, baby
