The Bitter End
Azure Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You gave your heart to me
I can't believe it's through
and now you're gone.
Don't make it hard for me.
Dip your wings in blue
and leave alone.

I'm not gonna think it over.

Even though I'll never see your face again.
I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.
Cause this blues has found a bitter end.
This blues has found a bitter end.

Love is a travesty.
Let's repeat the cue
to make a point.
All of our lives we'll dream.
Stars will fall
and suns will burn in gold.

I'm not gonna think it over.
Even though I'll never see your face again.
I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.
Cause this blues
has found a bitter end.

I'm not gonna take it sober.
So tonight I'm gonna blame myself again.
I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.
Cause this blues has found a bitter end.
This blues has found a bitter end.

We sat by the broken window.
and watched the sunlight disappear.
(A silver moon of broken promises
Lit up a silhouette against the sky.)

I'm not gonna think it over.
Even though I'll never see your face again.
I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.
Cause this blues
has found a bitter end.

I'm not gonna take it sober.
So tonight I'm gonna blame myself again.
I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.
Cause this blues has found a bitter end.
This blues has found a bitter end.

This blues has found a bitter end.
This blues has found a bitter end.
