Honestly bitter

from FISHING BIRDS by Haddock's orphans

lyrics

All these years I thought you were special,
sometimes I believed that I mistook
when I broke up with you.

Maybe you deserved a snob, a rich man,
You don’t mince your words ‘cause when you talk,
you go a bit too far.

Now I see this bitter girl you’ve become,
and I feel bad for you to be honest.
It seems like you gave in, let yourself go.
You need to think about, should think about it now!

I won’t take you home, I won’t anymore,
I just can be around, listen to your words,
If you think the worst, you will be far wrong.
It’s the way I feel.

I’m always trying to be kind; I believe I owe you though
I paid my crime long time ago.

Everybody thought you were special,
the best in the class, good talking girl,
you were smart and sharp.

But you’ve never risen to the occasion,
now life makes no sense
and you have lost your bearings to go on.

When I see the bitter girl you are now,
I don’t think it’s my fault to be honest,
It seems like you gave in, let yourself go!
You need to think about, should think about it now!

I won’t take you home, I won’t anymore,
I just can be around, listen to your words,
If you think the worst, you will be far wrong.
It’s the way I feel
I won’t take you home, I won’t anymore,
I just can be around, listen to your words,
If you think the worst, you will be far wrong.
It’s the way I feel

I’m always trying to be kind,
I believe I owe you though I paid my crime long time ago.
I’d like to give you a hand but now
I believe maybe this song will be the best I’ll do for you.
