I looked in the mirror and guess what it said
It told me that I'm hanging on by a thread
I'm clinging to something that somebody said
It's the tune I'll be singing until I'm dead
One day when I'm winning one day when I'm rich
Will I be wise or will I be a witch
Will I be generous when the enemy slips
Or will I be there grinning just licking my lips
When will I learn
When will I see
That it's gonna burn eventually
And that bitterness won't be sweet
I used to be happy and I used to be bright
Now I lay here bitter awake every night
Just hoping and praying I can win this fight
Or I'm bound to be angry all my life
The words they will write on the stone when I die
She did what she did and she did it for spite
Some call it ambition and some call it pride
See the wounds on my back from the same dirty knife
When will I learn (when will I learn)
When will I see (when will I see)
That it's gonna burn eventually (it's gunna burn eventually)
And that bitterness won't be sweet
I know they broke you down
The ones you kept around
Well those friends they weren't your friends
'Cause they're laughing at you know
Ladadada

Ladadada
When will I learn (when will I learn)
When will I see (when will I see)
That it's gonna burn eventually (it's gunna burn eventually)
And that bitterness won't be sweet
And that bitterness ain't sweet
I look in the mirror each night before bed
I say my goodnights as I lay down to rest
Watch out for the words you let into your head
It's the tune you'll be singing until you're dead
