[Verse 1] Everything used to be so good then Now it seems like youre mad at my footprints Im only trying to scribble in the book, man Its not my fault that yall couldnt You must have a lot of free time Otherwise why are you trying to see mine Strain your neck, let the blame project But dont give yourself the same respect So independent but undependable Were all getting old, now take a mental note And stop being so covetous The crime is the punishment Now run and get a sliver of dignity You aint gotta be a figure of misery You dont want to be a victim to victory Listening to a bitter sweet symphony [Hook] Youre so bitter Youre cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you Your jealousy needs an anthem too Youre so bitter Youre cold as a river in the winter This one is to recognize you And all of these dreams that cant come true [Verse 2] We used to get up in Uptown Then we hit the highway to run around Came home everybody wanna judge now Dont let them see you celebrate your touchdown Keep clutching those grudges Dont budge if no budget The old puppets show love in public But behind the back cant trust it Disgusted, repugnant Insulted, repulsive Discouraged, rejection No protection from your own reflection Chip on your shoulder big as a boulder Insecurities a slippery slope Got ya looking around for the sympathy vote Anything to give a little glimmer of hope [Hook] [Verse 3] Treat love like a limited resource Fight for it like theres never gonna be more On the rooftop talk to the spaceships Like youve got 2Pac locked in the basement Get the bag, make the get away exit You get mad like your middle name desperate No net, better not get left back Yeah, you should probably protect that Im trying to keep it simple, teeth to the nipple Beat my chisel, leave my initials Fly so far when you follow the signals Sky full of stars and all of them wishful Not only are we bitter but were brittle The worlds getting small, and everybodys little Go roll your eyeballs, toot your own whistle Dont ever stop waiting for the window [Hook]
