Love is tragic, love is bold,

You will always do what you are told.

Love is hard, love is strong,

You will never say that you were wrong.

I don't know when I got bitter,

But love is surely better when it's gone.

'Cause you wanted more,

More than I could give,

More than I could handle,

In a life that I can't live.

You wanted more,

More than I could bear,

More than I could offer,

For a love that isn't there.

Love is color, love is loud,

Love is never saying you're too proud.

Love is trusting, love is honest,

Love is not a hand to hold you down.

I don't know when I got bitter,

But love is surely better when it's gone.

'Cause you wanted more,

More than I could give,

More than I could handle,

In a life that I can't live.

You wanted more,

More than I could bear,

More than I could offer,

For a love that isn't there.

I got to pick me up when I am down town,

I got to get my feet back on the ground,

I got to pick me up when I am down town.

(Solo: Guitar)

I don't know when I got bitter,

But love is surely better when it's gone.

'Cause you wanted more,

More than I could give,

More than I could handle,

In a life that I can't live.

You wanted more,

More than I could bear,

More than I could offer,

For a love that isn't there.

You wanted more,

More than I could love,

More than I could offer,

The harder you would shove.

You wanted more,

More than I could give,

More than I could handle,

In a life that I can't live!
