Bittersweet

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jo] I still think about how it used to be So entwined in my own lies Surrounded by this make believe I've been held by despondency I should have known the road I chose Would run out on me, oh no [Pre-Chorus: Jo & All] I could've faded, been jaded By every consequence (Oh no no) Every word that you hurdled Was part of my defence You can hurt me, desert me It makes no difference I give as good as I get [Chorus: All & Bradley] Like a weight falling from my shoulders I'm not going to go that way again (never going back) When everybody said that my days were over Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that) You should've known it would make me stronger I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that) I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me And it's all so bittersweet (Oh yeah) [Verse 2: Jo] In my life, I had no room for compromise The things I've done have been The ones I have had to leave behind Look in my eyes, you barely recognize The woman who depended on you To sing a little praise or criticize (oh no) [Pre-Chorus: Jo & All] So I hide it, divide it 'Bout what I feel inside (Oh no no) Now I take it or make it I'm gonna be alright Whether you need me, believe me You'll never hurt my pride Finally all this feels like [Chorus] Like a weight falling from my shoulders I'm not going to go that way again (never going back) When everybody said that my days were over Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that) You should've known it would make me stronger I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that) I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me And it's all so bittersweet [Bridge: Jo] Look into my eyes, I won't be left behind Everything's going to be fine And I have never felt like this I have no need to reminisce Those old days have gone And I keep holding on [Chorus: All] Like a weight falling from my shoulders I'm not going to go that way again (never going back) When everybody said that my days were over Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that) You should've known it would make me stronger I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that) I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me And it's all so bittersweet [Chorus: All] Like a weight falling from my shoulders I'm not going to go that way again (never going back) When everybody said that my days were over Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that) You should've known it would make me stronger I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that) I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me And it's all so bittersweet [Chorus: All] Like a weight falling from my shoulders I'm not going to go that way again (never going back) When everybody said that my days were over Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that) You should've known it would make me stronger I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that) I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me And it's all so bittersweet
