Bittersweet

[Intro: Jo]

Oh-oh

Hey

[Verse 1: Jo]

I still think about how it used to be

So entwined in my own lies

Surrounded by this make-believe

I've been held by despondency

I should have known the road I chose

Would run out on me, oh, oh no

[Pre-Chorus: S Club & Jo]

I could've faded, been jaded

By every consequence (No, no, no)

Every word that you hurdled

Was part of my defense (My defense, oh)

You can hurt me, desert me

It makes no difference

I give as good as I get

[Chorus: S Club & Jo]

Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (Never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (You should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (Hey, hey, hey)

Don't you know that?

I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet

[Post-Chorus: Bradley]

(Oh yeah)

[Verse 2: Jo]

In my life, I had no room for compromise

The things I've done have been

The ones I have had to leave behind

Look in my eyes, you barely recognize

The woman who depended on you

To sing a little praise or criticize, oh no

[Pre-Chorus: S Club & Jo]

So I hide it, divide it

'Bout what I feel inside (No, no, no)

Now I take it or make it

I'm gonna be alright (Be alright, oh)

Whether you need me, believe me

You'll never hurt my pride

Finally, all this feels like

[Chorus: S Club & Jo]

Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (Never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (You should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger (Know it made me stronger)

I was never gonna fade away (Hey, hey, hey)

Don't you know that?

I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet

[Bridge: Jo]

Look into my eyes, I won't be left behind

Everything's going to be fine

And I have never felt like this

I have no need to reminisce

Those old days have gone

And I keep holding on

[Chorus: S Club, Jo & Bradley]

Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (Never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (You should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (Hey, hey, hey)

Don't you know that?

I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet

Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (Go that way again, baby; Never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (You should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger (Should've known, oh)

I was never gonna fade away (Hey, hey, hey)

Don't you know that?

I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet

Like a weight falling from my shoulders (Go that way again)

I'm not going to go that way again (Never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (You should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (Hey, hey, hey)

Don't you know that?

I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet
