Bittersweet

I still think about how I used to be
So entwined in my own life
Surrounded by this make-believe
I've been held by despondency
I should have known the road I chose
Would run out on me

I could've faded, be jaded by every consequence
Every word that you heard then was part of my defence
You can hurt me, desert me it makes no difference
I give as good as I get

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't give their time to comprehend
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
Don't you know that
I'll keep it coming
My destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet

My life had no room for compromise
There is things I've done, there've been
The ones that I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you will barely recognise
The woman who depended on you
To sing a little praise to criticise

And so I'd hide it, divided by what I felt inside
Now I'll take it, I'll make it, I'm gonna be alright
Whether you need me believe me you'll never hurt my pride
Finally all this feels like

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't give their time to comprehend
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
Don't you know that
I'll keep it coming
My destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet

Look into my eyes
I won't be left behind
Everything's gonna be fine
And I have never felt like this
I have no need to reminisce
Those old days have gone
And I'll keep holding on

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't give their time to comprehend
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
Don't you know that
I'll keep it coming
My destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet

(Repeat to fade)
