People always love an underdog A comeback they never saw coming I wanted to be that I wanted to keep loving Convinced myself I'd won this competition Only in my head against me I scream from the rooftops I make sure they see And I paint this smile on my face To show I'm not bitter And I grab hold of more than I can take To prove I'm all better But I'm not I get caught inside all of this anger But treat it like I'm just telling a joke I demand you accept it But I cry when you don't And I paint this smile on my face To show I'm not bitter And I grab hold of more than I can take To prove I'm all better But I'm not better Is this my doomed fate Is it all I'll know Cause I'm still messed up Even though I'm grown And I'll fight off help Cause I don't need no one I've made so damn sure That I don't need no one And I'm not bitter I'm not bitter I'm not bitter Oh, I'm not bitter
