Lyrics
As I drove off one evening, for the last time I'm leaving
I had to pull over 'cause something was changing
While the wind screen was wiping off the rain that kept falling
I thought about nothing, yeah, I thought about living
Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
Right now I'm dreaming that I'm back at my place
Changing my keys to my old front door
Turning around and talking, pretending once more
Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight, always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right so let me fall, let me fall
After a while I began my journey home
Dreadin' that moment when on my stairs I'll be all alone
Dangling my keys in my old front door
And turning around and talking and pretending once more
That am I only doing what I expect myself to do
You know sometimes it's hard to tell what is it isn't true
Or am I living out a liar off for someone else?
Or is this just me beneath it all? I just don't know anymore
Bitterness is sweet 'cause it's funny after all
Now you've got me to my feet, just let me fall
I've been holding on too tight and always waiting on your call
Now we both know you're right so let me fall, let me fall
