Bitter

Beth Keeping, Sophie Ackroyd

I’m obsessed with healthy habits
Make my bed, take my tablets
Cleanse my body like I’m a baptist

I gave up drinking in an instant
Cut out caffeine, didn’t miss it
But I hold this grudge like I’m an addict

I lay back my prison
I keep on casually sipping
On every drop of the poison like it’s lemonade
It started off as a remedy
my own personal therapy
but got carried away

It’s making me bitter
Thought it’d feel good
Pulling the trigger
Pointed at you
I would feel better
If I could forgive
Taking revenge
Isn’t that sweet when it’s making me bitter

All the hours that I’ve wasted
On melodrama I’ve created
Staying angry is overrated

I shout and scream at the mirror
The things I’d say to the media
Ruin your reputation
And I’d drag your name
It started off as a remedy
my own personal therapy
but got carried away

It’s making me bitter
Thought it’d feel good
Pulling the trigger
Pointed at you
I would feel better
If I could forgive
Taking revenge
Isn’t that sweet when it’s making me bitter

My friends say that you got off lightly
So I rage and I plot and carry
All of the weight of your mistakes
Get’s so heavy — so heavy

And i’ve changed i don’t recognise me
It’s got into my bones got inside me
Crazy isn’t it
Making myself sick just to drag you down

It’s making me bitter
Thought it’d feel good
Pulling the trigger
Pointed at you
I would feel better
If I could forgive
Taking revenge
Isn’t that sweet when it’s making me bitter
