Once somebody said to me
Mother Mary let it be
And it helps to deal with my anxiety

See, I built a wall, it didn't hold
There's so much outside of my control
In and out, right now
I'm just trying to breathe

Never burn a bridge
'Less you're a real good swimmer
If you start to look around
Everybody else is winning
It's okay to feel like
You're running on empty
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Try not to get bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
I'm a lot of things
But I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Once somebody said, my friend
That the answer's blowing in the wind
So I'm not the only one who's wondering

Some days I hate everything
Life don't make no sense to me
I'm standing in the mirror now
I'm standing here, I'm screaming out

Never burn a bridge
'Less you're a real good swimmer
If you start to look around
Everybody else is winning
It's okay to feel like
You're running on empty
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Try not to get bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
I'm a lot of things
But I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Try not to get (ohh)
Try not to get (ohh)
Try not to get (ohh oh)
Try not to get (ohh)

I'm a lot of things
But I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Never burn a bridge
'Less you're a real good swimmer
If you start to look around
Everybody else is winning
It's okay to feel like
You're running on empty
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Try not to get bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter
Bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
I'm a lot of things
But I've never been a quitter
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter

Try not to get (ohh)
Try not to get (ohh)
Try not to get (ohh)
Life will let you down
Try not to get bitter
