Bittersweet lyrics

I still think about how it used to be
So entwined in my own lies, surrounded by this make believe
I`ve been held by despondency
I should have known the road I chose would run out on me (oh no)

I could`ve faded
Been jaded
By every consequence (oh no no)
Every word that you hurdled
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 going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would`nt get the time to comprehend (you should`ve known that)
You should`ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away(hey hey heyyy)
(don`t you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it`s all so bittersweet

In my life, I had no room for comprimise
The things I`ve done have been the ones I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you barely recognise
The woman who depended on you to sing a little praise or criticise (oh no)

So I hide it
Divide it
Bout what I feel inside (oh no no)
Now I take it
Or 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 going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would`nt get the time to comprehend (you should`ve known that)
You should`ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away(hey hey heyyy) (don`t you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it`s all so bittersweet

Look
