Bitter Optimist Lyrics by Tiny Blue Ghost

Between the Botanicals

2022

[Verse 1]
There's a story I've been meaning to tell
I've been backtracking to see where I had fell
I've climbed the highest peaks to get a better view
But it doesn't get easier the second time to tell the truth

[Chorus]
Sometimes, falling down is the best part
Losing your balance can bring you some better perspective
When you hit the ground, you start to fend for yourself
I'm not giving up or looking back
Just don't look back

[Verse 2]
Spent too much time trying to adjust how I'm perceived
I've built my foundation based on who I could appease
Now I'm shifting my focus to discover my true form
By shedding the layers of expectations that I've worn

[Bridge]
I reflect upon
The person I've become
And I could only hope I've made
My younger self proud
I am an optimist
With an acquired bitter taste
'Cause I have grown so tired
Of holding everything in place

[Chorus]
Sometimes, falling down is the best part
Losing your balance can bring you some better perspective
When you hit the ground, you start to fend for yourself
I'm not giving up or looking back
