Iron & Wine - Bitter Truth Lyrics
Our missing pieces walk between us
When we were moving through the door
You called 'em mine, I called 'em yours
You make me get so angry
And I'd stay there on my own
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
I can't read it, didn't mean it
As you would rage how I was wrong
Life is too short, and you'd stay too long
Let's be honest, we were strongest till I let you drag me down
I was sorry then, I'm not now
Some get a golden heart
Some get a riverside
Some get a house that lets the years go by
That life is ending, you seem contented
While the graveside flowers die
I call 'em yours, you call 'em mine
Nothing makes silence like experience
There's a message in my eyes
You'd better love yourself, 'cause I tried
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song

Our missing pieces walk between us
When we were moving through the door
You called 'em mine, I called 'em yours
You make me get so angry
And I'd stay there on my own
We both make peace but all alone
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
I can't read it, didn't mean it
As you would rage how I was wrong
Life is too short, and you'd stay too long
Let's be honest, we were strongest till I let you drag me down
I was sorry then, I'm not now
Some get a golden heart
Some get a riverside
Some get a house that lets the years go by
That life is ending, you seem contented
While the graveside flowers die
I call 'em yours, you call 'em mine
Nothing makes silence like experience
There's a message in my eyes
You'd better love yourself, 'cause I tried
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
Hiçbir zaman Haberin olmayacak ama bu bizim dans şarkımız... hep bunu düşlerken buluyorum kendimi beraber yemyeşil bir bahçede dans ediyoruz. Benim üzerimde sade beyaz bir gelinlik senin üzerinde kırışılmaya hazır sade bir takım üzerinde ki o beyaz gömlekle çok güzelsin. Silik gülümseyişlerin belki de bu kadar hayal kurmamalıyım fakat bunun beni ne kadar mesud ettiğini bilemezsin. Düşlerimde hep bana gülümsemeni istiyorum.
This song makes me think of summer.
My favorite in Beast Epic
I've listened to this at least 20 times, thank God for indy radio
Perfection 💜
Un Bel modo per dire TI AMO...
Nice song, very vintage sounding.
One of my favorite songs!!!
I'm in love with song, Iron & Wine is getting better and better
Me encantaaaa, tiene algo especial
I heard this on WFUV and just had to hear it over and over again. Its the sirt if song you might hear in your car driving somewhere, and you stay in the car until its over. And then a few minutes more after that.
Michael Noone FUV is the best man, learned so many good tunes there
I’m in the music video for this 👌
"I was sorry then - I'm not now." ain't that the truth sometimes - when you reflect back and realize you were sorry for shit that wasn't even yours to be sorry for - some people are just really good at making you feel guilty for their own crap. I guess I had to learn this twice in a lifetime for it to sink in - paying better attention to life's bitter details. Great lyrics, great music, great singing -
You are my Idol..
love love love love
