Bitter (a cappella) Songtext
von Andy Mineo

You didn′t want to call?
You know I was proud of you up there singing, huh?
Don't want your father to see ya′?
Huh, C-Lite, c'mon, man
You're supposed to call me
What′s the matter with you?
Huh?
You don′t like me no more?
You tell Mark you're here, but you don′t call your dad
All right, give your dad a call
Bye


I don't wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
(Yeah)
I don′t wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
(Yeah)
I don't wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don′t wanna be
(Bitter)
So, take it all away


Unh
Anybody know the feeling of rejection?
Feels like you was kicked in your midsection
When you feel like you simply just lost your best friend
Everybody played the game of love
You'd rather bench in
You start thinking she's chillin′ with other men
And you gettin′ jealous
Start beefin' and harborin′ harsh resentment
I'm asking Jesus to keep me from bein′ bitter
Go schemin' on Twitter
Get mad and post it on my statuses
(C′mon, man)
Bitterness can make a heart numb
But hope is like a star
You don't see it shine bright until the dark come
(Shine bright)
So don't just scoop the dust
Remove the rug
If I got unforgiveness in my heart
Then there really ain′t no room for love
Plus, it′s stupid, 'cause I′ve been so forgiven
(So forgiven)
That if I hold a grudge, I don't show He′s risen
But I know my sins removed since Jesus came
With no reason to forgive me
But He did, so I do the same

Unh
Sometimes things just happen in life that don't make any sense
But, bitterness is a choice

I don′t wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don't wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don't wanna be
(You just don′t get it)
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
(Gotta keep my heart from bein′ bitter)
I don't wanna be
(Bitter)
(Check)
So, take it all away

Yeah, I gotta tread softly
Don′t wanna be a hypocrite
Plus, I got some bitterness I wanna get up off me
Where should I start?
Well, I feel like I'd be sorta frontin′ to say
When my father calls, that I don't hit "ignore" button
It′s probably 'cause we never kicked it at a younger age
I know when he's calling, but I don′t got his number saved
I keep dodging him, but I′m just being honest
All he wanna do is talk football and how I should play in college
I get bitter, kinda cold like the winter
It's so hard for me to forgive, then I remember that I′m a sinner
If Jesus forgave me and washed away my sins
When I didn't deserve it, then I could forgive him
(Yeah)
There′s power in such amazing love
Like when Jesus forgave the ones that pinned Him up on that cross
As He was hangin' from it
Holy Spirit, teach me to be just like the Son
Remove the roots of bitterness
Don′t stop until Your work is done
Unh, yeah

God, I don't wanna be bitter
Teach me to forgive
Let me see my own sin

I don't wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don′t wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don′t wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don't wanna be
(Bitter)
So, take it all away
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don′t wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don't wanna be
(Bitter, bitter, bitter)
I don′t wanna be
(Bitter)
So, take it all away
