Bitter (Barry Harris Radio Version)

Bitter (Barry Harris Radio Version) - Emily West

Bitter

Yeah that's me these days

I bite and I kick and I hiss and I scratch

Like a lion in a cage

Bitter

And the feeling's so strange

I like him I love him I hate him

For making the mess that he made

I'm giving up what I used to love

'Cause I can't stand the taste

So this is love

So this is pain

I'm too tired to be brave

As hard as you fall

That's how you break

Over and over until it's too late

The battle was over

The blood never dried

The gate was left open and so were my eyes

Bitter

Yeah that's me these days

I bite and I kick and I hiss and I scratch

Like a lion in a cage

Bitter

And the feeling's so strange

I like him I love him I hate him

For making the mess that he made

I'm giving up what I used to love

'Cause I can't stand the taste

Heart full of rain

But I'm still on fire

I'm so sick of desire

The more that I try

The less I forget

The shape of his body asleep in my bed

The bells they were rung out

I said my goodbyes

And now I'm just run down

I won't cry 'cause I'm

Bitter

Yeah that's me these days

I bite and I kick and I hiss and I scratch

Like a lion in a cage

Bitter

And the feeling's so strange

I like him I love him I hate him

For making the mess that he made

Bitter

Yeah that's me these days

I bite and I kick and I hiss and I scratch

Like a lion in a cage

Bitter

And the feeling's so strange

I like him I love him I hate him

For making the mess that he made

I like him I love him I hate him

For making the mess that he made

I'm giving up what I used to love

'Cause I can't stand the taste
