In the mist Of my endless search The best in life Becomes clear The rest just begins To fade by itself That's a trick I learned Though it took so long Bitter tears taste so sweet I'm seeing my way For the first time in years When the love around Begins to suffer And you can't find love In one In one another Push away those bitter tears Bitter tears And I thought I was doing no wrong And I thought I was doing no wrong In the hour Of your needs Lips are trembling Cause your gonna be free Realize what were doing here The time is right to kill your fears Bitter tears taste so sweet I'm seeing my way For the first time in years When the love around Begins to suffer And you can't find love In one In one another Push away those bitter tears Bitter tears An I though I was doing no wrong Push away those bitter tears That's what they call doing no wrong That's what they call doing no wrong Push away those bitter tears [Repeat: x3] That's what they call doing no wrong
