Bitter

[Verse 1:]
Once somebody said to me
Mother Mary let it be
And it helps to deal with my anxiety
See, I built a wall, it didn't hold
There's so much outside of my control
In the now, right now, I'm just trying to breathe.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Never burn a bridge 'less you're a real good swimmer
If you start to look around, everybody else is winning
It's okay to feel like you're running on empty
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter.

[Chorus:]
Try not to get bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter.

[Verse 2:]
Once somebody said my friend, that the answer's blowing in the wind
So I'm not the only one who's wondering
Some days I hate everything, life don't make no sense to me
I'm standing in the mirror now
I'm standing here, I'm screaming out.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Never burn a bridge 'less you're a real good swimmer
If you start to look around, everybody else is winning
It's okay to feel like you're running on empty
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter.

[Chorus:]
Try not to get bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter.

[Post-Chorus:]
Try not to get— Ooh
Try not to get— Ooh
Try not to get— Ooh
Try not to get— Ooh.

[Bridge:]
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus:]
Never burn a bridge 'less you're a real good swimmer
If you start to look around, everybody else is winning
It's okay to feel like you're running on empty
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter.

[Chorus:]
Try not to get bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter.

[Outro:]
Try not to get— Ooh
Try not to get— Ooh
Try not to get— Ooh
I'm a lot of things but I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down, try not to get bitter
Try not to get—
