I'm Not Bitter

Minus 5 · Other Songs - Minus 5

When someone wants me to listen I can't

If I'm supposed to do something I won't

It's hard to tell if I can get along

But I'm not bitter

I'm not bitter

Not at all

Just a lot

I walk around the block to avoid you

and that's when I'm in a social mood

It's just my head that hurts me right now

But I'm not bitter

I'm not bitter

Not at all

Just a lot

I try to think back on the happiness and fun

It doesn't make much sense to blame you

For the wreck my life's become

Bitterness is reserved for stupid people

Not for someone intelligent like me

I don't have time to feel that way

I do things backwards when I say that

I'm not bitter

I'm not bitter

I'm not bitter

I'm not bitter

Not at all

Just a lot

I'm not bitter

I'm not bitter

I'm Not Bitter
