The Bitterness Lyrics by Michael Knott

Life of David

2001

[Intro]
Sometimes I wanna die
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo

[Verse 1]
How would I know the living
If I didn't know the dying?
How could I taste the honey
If there was no pain in trying?
The stinging and the crying
The truth and the lying
The sometimes honest
Make me love the bitterness

[Chorus]
And I love the bitterness
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord

[Verse 2]
How would I know freedom
If I didn't fight to see some?
Locked behind these bars
Balanced between these laws
I'm sicker than the rest
And I love the bitterness

[Chorus]
And I love the bitterness
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
And I love the bitterness
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord

[Outro]
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Whoo hoo hoo
Sometimes I want to live
