Bitterness Rising Lyrics

Bitterness Rising lyrics

BITTERNESS RISING - Paul Weller

 

 Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst

 Like the banks of a swollen river

 As bitterness does its worst

 

 Working on your feelings - eating you all up

 But you have to shed that shit to move on

 And let love carry you on up -

 

 #   (It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off

     Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off

 

 Unfair to give in - and never change its course

 If you have the choice before you

 You must take it with a force

 

 Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth

 As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth

 

 #

 

 Moments in time - finding the space - to be what'cha wanna be

 The things you never got - life you never had - the dreams

   you once dreamed

 Waiting your time - finding the space - to be what'cha wanna be -

   just be!

 

 Or the past will take you  - keep you from the truth

 As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
