People always love an underdog
A comeback they never saw coming
I wanted to be that
I wanted to keep loving
Convinced myself I'd won this competition
Only in my head against me
I scream from the rooftops
I make sure they see
And I paint this smile on my face
To show I'm not bitter
And I grab hold of more than I can take
To prove I'm all better
But I'm not
I get caught inside all of this anger
But treat it like I'm just telling a joke
I demand you accept it
But I cry when you don't
And I paint this smile on my face
To show I'm not bitter
And I grab hold of more than I can take
To prove I'm all better
But I'm not better
Is this my doomed fate
Is it all I'll know
Cause I'm still messed up
Even though I'm grown
And I'll fight off help
Cause I don't need no one
I've made so damn sure
That I don't need no one
And I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
I'm not bitter
Oh, I'm not bitter
