Lyrics
[verse]
I'm walking down a road that someone else designed
Trying to keep a little peace of mind
Every clock keeps ticking whether I'm awake or not
This is the only symphony I've got
[verse]
I'm just a passenger inside a rented frame
Nobody handed me a manual or a name
I'm doing what I can with what the hours give
This is the only bittersweet way to live
[chorus]
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the strife
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been
Sing it slow until the credits roll again
[verse]
Change, they say, but the road remains the same
Everybody's running someone else's game
I'll keep walking till the melody runs dry
Underneath a bittersweet November sky
[chorus]
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the strife
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been
Sing it slow until the credits roll again
[bridge]
No change, no change, we cannot rearrange
No change, no change, we are ageing anyway
But I'll keep walking with my head up to the rain
Bittersweet forever, letting go of the pain
[chorus]
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the strife
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been
Sing it slow until the credits roll again
