Broken Cup
You tear me down with your words till I’m raw
Till I can’t walk away, can’t even crawl
The currency of your kiss, the cost is this
and I pay it
You are a broken cup, one I still drink out of
I should throw you away
When we make love, when we make war
You tear down walls that weren’t there before
You hold me too tight I can’t breathe I can’t stay I won’t leave
Don’t say it
You are a broken cup, one I still drink out of
I should throw you away
But for the moment it’s good
Your love feels just like it should
I’d ask you to continue but I know that it’s not in you
to stay
that would be too kind, not your way
much too kind, not your way

I was so happy to finally listen to this and all the songs on Bitter Pills & Delicacies. What a delightful blend of musical styles. Thanks again for making this available.
Dear Ryan, I am so happy this music finally made it to your ears! I remember you had requested it awhile ago but you see I was devising a special plan of delivery all along! Do you have a favorite track? Thank you for the note. xCBx
Darling has gotten the most play time out of all the tracks so far. What a sweet song that stirs so many memories.
