Sugar on the Pill Lyrics

Never walked on the water,
Never changed none to wine
I did my best to try to please you
But miracles these days are hard to find
And even true believers sometimes need a sign

Felt like a dagger in my rib-cage,
Struck me with an unforgiving blow
But I won't go begging for your favor
'Cause my well's deeper than you know
Don't cry for my compassion in your convalescent air
'Cause I'll tell you where to go

Don't want no Sugar on the Pill
Like water from a well
So sweet it's hard to tell
What you gonna do when the chaff comes down
Don't want no Sugar on the Pill
Will you run to your daddy when it all comes down
Like a whisper in the wind
You'll hear it now and then
Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow

Momma told me never look into the sun
But I had to learn the hard way
'Cause that's how things are often done

Now I'm staring out the window
And there's spots before my eyes
I've been blinded by a star
I guess that comes as no surprise

Don't want no Sugar on the Pill
I'll take my bad news bad
Don't want no Sugar on the Pill

Like water from a well...
So sweet it's tough to tell
What you gonna do when the chaff comes down
Don't want no Sugar on the Pill

Like a whisper in the wind
You'll hear it now and then
Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow

I'll take my bad news bad
Don't want no Sugar on the Pill

And that means I'll take the good news good as well
Well it's hard, hard to do
Tasting the truth is the first step in healing

Promises you made in the moonlight
People always tell me never look back
Promises you made in the moonlight
When you told me that you wouldn't then you sold me down the river
