Bitter
Pietasters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I guess I know, I never should have trusted you
Sorry to remind you of the promises you've broken
Wouldn't want to dwell upon the lies
So many times I heard about, what I should do
So many times I've read about what you want me to do
So many times I wonder if you realize I don't care about you
Well I heard you said, you never liked me anyway
I'm sure that you knew, I never really trusted you
Even if you come to with promises of roses
It won't be enough to free all the friendships that you broke
So many times I thought about what I could do
So many times I heard about all the stupid fucking things that you want
me to do
So many times I wonder if you realize I don't care about you
So many times I thought about what I could do
So many times I heard about all the stupid fucking things that you want
me to do
So many times I wonder if you realize I don't care about you
The lyrics of The Pietasters' song 'Bitter' is about the aftermath of a broken friendship. The opening line, "Well I know you said, I never helped you anyway," sets the accusatory tone of the lyrics, which suggests that the singer has been unfairly dismissed by their former lover or friend. The singer acknowledges that they did not trust their companion, indicating that they had some apprehension regarding the relationship. The line "Sorry to remind you of the promises you've broken" refers to unfulfilled promises that contribute to the breakdown of the relationship. The singer's disinterest in their former friend or lover is evident in the line "So many times I wonder if you realize I don't care about you." These lines convey a sense of frustration and disappointment at being betrayed and a lingering bitterness.
The song overall is pointing towards the irony of the situation that the singer has moved on and the old friend or lover is trying to make amends after breaking promises and betraying trust. The singer's resentment is palpable as they recount the painful times they shared.
