10. Bitterness (song)
verse 1
If I ever say a word that I don't mean, call me out
I believe I never have
It's a helpless situation, I give in
There's nothing I would ever compromise for you.
verse 2
I forget about you when you let me in
Suddenly there's something to hold onto.
I believe in lack of absolutes
Don't say never, always, I love you.
chorus
And don't tell me I'm addicted to your loving
‘cause I think I know myself more than you do
In the end I know your sleepless words mean nothing
And you can’t trust a single word I say to you.
But I'm the one who has the reasons
to question all that you promise that you'll do
Cause you never, never, never follow through.
verse 3
People round here think I've lost my purpose
They see me as worthless apart from you.
But I swear that I am still myself
I won't compromise, I'll hide my hurt upon a shelf.
chorus
And don't tell me I'm addicted to your loving
‘cause I think I know myself more than you do
In the end I know your sleepless words mean nothing
And you can’t trust a single word I say to you.
But I'm the one who has the reasons
to question all that you promise that you'll do
Cause you never, never, never follow through.
bridge
You were only one of many conquests I have journeyed through
That's what I keep telling you, to convince myself
You act like you're the victor, I'm the captured, you have all the power
I wanna tell you that you don't, that it's not true
but I'm defeated, I'd be a liar
cause it's you, it's you, it's you.
chorus
So I admit, I'm addicted to your loving
I admit you know me better than I do.
In the end I know your sleepless words mean nothing to me
But I still believe there could be good in you.
I'm the one who has the reasons to throw away the future we might get to
I say I'm leaving, but I never follow through.
No, I never, never, never follow through.
