lyrics

Unfamiliar face in the bathroom mirror
It's that time of day, it's that time of year
When the feeling comes and throws me around
I'm a wilted flower but I'm a fighter now

Bitter medicine makes the worry fade
Makes the walls cave in on the life I made
But it's good for me or so they say
Bitter medicine and better days

Thought I knew how to follow a simple plan
With a guarded mind and an empty hand
Now I'm out in the open with nowhere to run
I'm a wilted flower with a smoking gun

Bitter medicine makes the worry fade
Makes the walls cave in on the life I made
But it's good for me or so they say
Bitter medicine and better days

I may never be counted among the blessed
But I wanna believe that I'm doing my best
And if I knew how to say it, I'd shout it out loud
I'm free, I'm free, I'm a fighter now

Bitter medicine makes the worry fade
Makes the walls cave in on the life I made
But it's good for me or so they say
Bitter medicine and better days
