TaterTott - Bitter Words (feat. Julieta Sozzani) Lyrics

Baby, I don't want to stay. What?
Baby, I don't want to stay, no way. Please stay
Baby I don't want to stay. Why not?
And the world just needs to know that

I know the things that I've said
Really hurt, and got to your head
I'm selfish when I say: "I'll be better off dead!
You don't need me! Go find another man instead."
I take things too far: It seems like I have no feelings
I've cut you off before, I've been shady in my dealings with you
I've gotten too immersed in my work and my outer worth
With no consideration of the possibility of that being a curse to you
Due to the fact that it never helped our relationship
I've been too aggressive with my message of stressing blessings. "Quit
With the pain!" Is what you asked. I never once did that
All I did was make it worse: I put you through more pain than birth
With all my crazy bursts and all my pain-filled blurts
That you didn't deserve. I wish I had done better
I know it truly hurt us both when I pushed you away
After everything I put you through, I understand if you say

Baby, I don't want to stay. Baby, please
Baby, I don't want to stay, no way. Please don't go
Baby I don't want to stay. Why not?
And the world just needs to know that. But, baby
Baby, I don't want to stay. I, I'm not done yet
Baby, I don't want to stay, no way. Pl-please just listen
Baby I don't want to stay
And the world just needs to know that

I've used things against you that you've told me with confidence
That I wouldn't hurt you with it. I got violent
I've thrown things around, I bought things out of spite
I messed up your life. I thought that wrong was right
In the moment, then I told you I didn't know what I was thinking
I will own it: at your lowest I was holding you hostage with it
I was emotionally detached, completely insensitive
With well-worded lies, extremely manipulative
I know for a fact in the past I had way too many empty apologies
In my heart I wanted to hold up, in my mind I wanted you to fall with me
When I was down, you had my back. I only wish I could say that
With the roles reversed. It hurts! I wish I could turn the clock back
When you got sick I complained when I shouldn't have
Then it was too late when I tried to quit being so bad
I know it truly hurt us both when I pushed you away
After everything I put you through, I understand when you say

Baby, I don't want to stay. Damn
Baby, I don't want to stay, no way
Baby I don't want to stay. Please forgive me
And the world just needs to know that
