Bitter
I’ll learn to sleep here alone
To have messed up days and not tell you anymore
I’ll water your flowers, I swear
But I know they’ll die if you’re not there
I’ll learn not to hop on every train
Because missing some is good for my brain
I’ll say no
To whoever comes after you
And they’ll love me but in your shadow, baby
What do you want me to say now?
That we could’ve been a line written
On the sheets? Come on
I’ll need a shot of bitters
To wash away this bitter taste in my mouth
But just think of me when it's pouring outside
I know you’re far away
But I don’t care where I’ll end up
To keep you company
I’ll bring the wine and a bit of nostalgia
We loved each other like two librarians
Sneaking over skateparks
Abandoned at night
Now I know
I think of it as you leave
That I’ll have to learn to unlearn you
I’ll try not to look for your footsteps anymore
But you were home wherever I found myself
I’ll learn it’s impossible to save
Someone who spends their life self-sabotaging, like me
What do you want me to say now?
That I imagined we’d fight about
Taking the kids to school? Seriously?
I’ll need a shot of bitters
To wash away this bitter taste in my mouth
But just think of me when it's pouring outside
I know you’re far away
But I don’t care where I’ll end up
To keep you company
I’ll bring the wine and a bit of nostalgia
We loved each other like two librarians
Sneaking over skateparks
Abandoned at night
Now I know
I think of it as you leave
That I’ll have to learn to unlearn you
Let’s raise a glass to the past
I won’t forget that you saved me
I’ll need a hand to keep me at bay
Don’t ask me if I still love you
I’ll need a shot of bitters
To wash away this bitter taste in my mouth
But just think of me when it's pouring outside
I know you’re far away
But I don’t care where I’ll end up
To keep you company
I’ll bring the wine and a bit of nostalgia
We loved each other like two librarians
Sneaking over skateparks
Abandoned at night
Now I know
I think of it as you leave
That I’ll have to learn to unlearn you
