Swallow The Bitter Pill Lyrics

On a day when everything feels like
Like a giant bitter pill
Hard to swallow, hard to be polite
Am I imaginary ill?

On a day when everything feels gray
And people even dress to be
I want you to stay and walk away
I would only disagree

Until tomorrow I will
Wallow in sorrow with skill
Until tomorrow I'll be
Talking to no one but me

So you think I'm self-regarding and
Say I'm quick to take offence
So you're calling me a quibbler, well
I just call it self-defence

Yeah, I'm grumpy in the morning, true
Because I don't sleep at night
You can call me vain enough for two
Call me anything you like

Until tomorrow I will
Wallow in sorrow with skill
Until tomorrow I'll be
Talking to no one but me

I know what I'd like to do now
I know what I like to do
Everything is obsolete and
I like things when they are new

Don't talk to me
Don't walk away
Don't shave my head
Don't talk to me

Until tomorrow I will
Wallow in sorrow with skill
Until tomorrow I'll be
Talking to no one but me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
