Bittersweet

If you don't mind I'd like to tell you a story
And if you don't mind I've got something to say
There've been days when I feel as if I were flying
But I don't feel that way today

I remember way back when I was younger
I remember how hard I tried to be
Everything people see makes you something
Something I will never be

I could just sit here and keep on lying
I could just sit here and bite my tongue
But the way people change sure is something
Something I could not explain

Maybe this is what they mean
When I hear them saying you ain't seen anything
You're better than you think
Bitter can be sweet

Maybe this is what they mean
When I hear them saying you ain't seen anything
You're better than you think
Bitter can be sweet

If you don't mind I'd like to tell you a story
And if you don't mind I've got something to say
There've been days when I feel as if I were drowning
And that's just how I feel today
