[Verse 1]
I've been driving, driving with the wind in my hair
I've been dancing just like nobody cares
I've been dying for this feeling again
And I've been thinking, thinking "what if we never met?"
I've been drinking, drinking just to forget
I've been bitter, but life is sweeter than that

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I lost myself and I lost some friends
And I swore I'd never smile again
And I know that there's a different feeling
I'm believing

[Chorus]
I just want the freedom to lose that part of you
That forgot the weight on my heart you know is bruised
I know that it's still killing me, not killing you
(Don't wanna be bitter, don't wanna be bitter)
'Bout you

[Verse 2]
You've been calling, calling me to come back
Saying you've changed, I know better than that
You wanted freedom and now you've got it, ooh
And I'm grateful for you showing me
That I'm worth much more than you believe
It's sickly, but somehow it's so sweet to believe
[Chorus]
I just want the freedom to lose that part of you
That forgot the weight on my heart you know is bruised
I know that it's still killing me, not killing you
Don't wanna be bitter, don't wanna be bitter
I can feel the heat of the sheets you had to leave
That has left a taste in my mouth so bittersweet
I don't wanna live having you as my enemy
Don't wanna be bitter, don't wanna be bitter
'Bout you

[Bridge]
Bitter, bitter about you
Bitter, bitter about you
Not bitter, bitter about you, babe, no

[Chorus]
I just want the freedom to lose that part of you
That forgot the weight on my heart you know is bruised
I know that it's still killing me, not killing you
(Don't wanna be bitter, don't wanna be bitter)
I can feel the heat of the sheets you had to leave
That has left a taste in my mouth so bittersweet
I don't wanna live having you as my enemy
Don't wanna be bitter, don't wanna be bitter
'Bout you
[Outro]
Bitter, bitter about you (Not bitter)
Bitter, bitter about you (Not bitter)
Not bitter, bitter about you, babe (Ooh), no
