Bitterness Rising - 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!

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
