Lyrics
The Bitter End
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've walked every road
And turned every corner
Searched high and low
Where I did not belong
Adrift with the tide
Always hungry and yearning
If only I'd known that the answer
Was here all along
The bitter end will come in time
But the joy I have found
In the sweet here and now
It keeps me alive
I've kissed the lips of an angel in waiting
Devil in kind I've been lost and deceived
The thrill had to fade in this world for the taking
Once I woke up to what mattered then I could see
The bitter end will come in time
But the joy I have found
In the sweet here and now
It keeps me alive
We're lost on a road
Where all we can find
Are just the remnants of hope
That somehow we leave far behind
But this much I know
Somehow we'll be alright
'Cause it's never too late
To learn how to start living right
The bitter end will come in time
But the joy I have found
In the sweet here and now
It keeps me alive
The bitter end will come in time
But starting right now
I'll stop falling down
And start living right
Start living right
Starting right now
I'll stop falling down
And start living right
Start living right
Start living right
Starting right now
I'll stop falling down
And start living right
