Bitterness Rising - Paul Weller Lyrics - Singles - Paul Weller

Unfit to live in, just about fit to burst 

Like the banks of a swollen river, as bitterness does its worst 

Working on your feelings, eating you all up 

You have to shed that shit to move on, let love carry you on up 

(It's just) bitterness rising, taking you off 

Bitterness rising, you gotta shake those feelings off 

Unfair to give in and never change its course 

If you have the choice before you, you must take it with a force 

Or the past will take you, keep you from the truth 

As bitterness rises from the ashes of your youth

(It's just) bitterness rising, taking you off 

Bitterness rising, you gotta shake those feelings off 

Moments in time, finding the space, to be what'cha wanna be 

The things you never got, life you never had 

The dreams that you once dreamed 

Waiting your time, finding the space, to be what'cha wanna be 

Well just be!
