As The World Falls

Bitter Cherry

She doesn’t understand compliments

She only lives in shades of grey

She doesn’t believe in prince charming

But she will accept what she can get today

She is the tender flower that has been crushed too many times

Disappointment every hour

In her life it’s all she finds

Smiles still elude her as she looks at only rain

Inside she’s slowly dying and wishing things would change

Bruised fruit on the vine that’s been plucked before it’s time

Wishes for the rain to stop

And the touch of warm sunshine

But forever she will be

A bitter cherry

Yeah forever she will be

A bitter cherry

She’s a bitter cherry and she’s all mine

Her reflection tells her only lies

As she tries to hide herself away

Her misery keeps her company as she grows more bitter every day

She’s a lovely vision

If she would only realize

The world sees her as perfect

But the flaws are all she finds

Happiness eludes her as she looks at all her shame

Lies awake at nights just crying and wishing things would change

Bruised fruit in her mind that has been crushed before her time

Wishes for the pain to stop

And the touch of someone kind

But forever she will be

A bitter cherry

Yeah forever she will be

A bitter cherry

She’s a bitter cherry and she’s all mine

But forever she will be

A bitter cherry

Yeah forever she will be

A bitter cherry

She’s a bitter cherry and she’s all mine

Yeah she’s a bitter cherry and she’s all mine

She’s a bitter cherry and she’s all mine

She’s a bitter cherry and she’s all mine
