Lyrics
Bitter

verse 1
You claim to be the tree of knowledge that I seek
At first I thought you strong but now I only see you weakening
I made a winner you, you made a sinner me
Keep playing your kazoo just like the little freak you are
I'm off to the symphony

chorus
But I'm not bitter. Why would I be bitter?
I'm not bitter. I'm just better than you

verse 2
You took your little finger you tried to wrap me up
You pour your sentiment I take away my cup
Before this ever started I already had enough
Keep wishing on the stars but they can't bring you that much
No, not that much luck

chorus
But I'm not bitter. Why would I be bitter?
I'm not bitter. I'm just better than you

verse 3
You tried to knock me over with your game of “let’s pretend”
But I am unaffected by your little whim
Come the sun tomorrow you are memory to them
Passe, cliche what was your name again
What was your name again

chorus
But I'm not bitter. Why would I be bitter?
I'm not bitter. I'm just better than you

verse 4
Your vertigo and equilibrium unbalanced
Is rooted in the fear of just a preview of my talent
A multitude of words while you tremble in the silence
But no worry you're not worth what it would take to get to violence
You might be my penance

chorus
But I'm not bitter. Why would I be bitter?
I'm not bitter. I'm just better than you
I'm not bitter. I'm just better than you
