Bittersweet World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tragic
Everybody tryin' to hide all of those habits
It's kind of bizarre when it's who you are
It's tragic that it's come to this
I bury all of my vices
Tryin' to keep my head up over it
When everything's whatever
[Chorus]
It's the be all end all
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You can tell it's a bittersweet world
Why can't we all just get along?
In this bittersweet world
Everybody reapin' what they sow
In this
Sweet world
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to the magic that was keepin' us
The faith that was the on stardust
Now there's hypocrites pointing fingers
With three fingers pointing right back
And all we're left with is (And all we're left with is)
And all we're left with is (And all we're left with is)
And all we're left with is (And all we're left with is)
The foolish pride and quick fixes, yeah
Tragic
Everybody tryin' to hide all of those habits
It's kind of bizarre when it's who you are
It's tragic that it's come to this
I bury all of my vices
Tryin' to keep my head up over it
When everything's whatever
[Chorus]
It's the be all end all
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You can tell it's a bittersweet world
Why can't we all just get along?
In this bittersweet world
Everybody reapin' what they sow
In this
Sweet world
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to the magic that was keepin' us
The faith that was the on stardust
Now there's hypocrites pointing fingers
With three fingers pointing right back
And all we're left with is (And all we're left with is)
And all we're left with is (And all we're left with is)
And all we're left with is (And all we're left with is)
The foolish pride and quick fixes, yeah
[Chorus]
It's the be all end all (Be all end all)
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You can tell it's a bittersweet world
Why can't we all just get along?
In this bittersweet world
Everybody reapin' what they sow
In this bittersweet world
With closets full of skeletons
I'm a bittersweet girl
Demons out to get me as I stand alone
[Bridge]
There's a universal bottom line
Everybody's in disguise, even you and I
Behind the facade, tryna get by
Don't wanna burn, but wanna play with fire (Again)
There's a universal bottom line
Everybody's in disguise, even you and I
Behind the facade, tryna get by
You wanna play with fire
You're gonna get burned, 'cause
[Chorus]
It's the be all end all (Be all end all)
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You can tell
It's the be all end all (Be all end all)
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You should know
It's a bittersweet world
Why can't we all just get along?
In this bittersweet world
Everybody reapin' what they sow
In this bittersweet world
With closets full of skeletons
I'm a bittersweet girl
Demons out to get me as I stand alone
It's the be all end all (Be all end all)
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You can tell it's a bittersweet world
Why can't we all just get along?
In this bittersweet world
Everybody reapin' what they sow
In this bittersweet world
With closets full of skeletons
I'm a bittersweet girl
Demons out to get me as I stand alone
[Bridge]
There's a universal bottom line
Everybody's in disguise, even you and I
Behind the facade, tryna get by
Don't wanna burn, but wanna play with fire (Again)
There's a universal bottom line
Everybody's in disguise, even you and I
Behind the facade, tryna get by
You wanna play with fire
You're gonna get burned, 'cause
[Chorus]
It's the be all end all (Be all end all)
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You can tell
It's the be all end all (Be all end all)
And right before we fade away
Call a spade a spade, and you should know
You should know
It's a bittersweet world
Why can't we all just get along?
In this bittersweet world
Everybody reapin' what they sow
In this bittersweet world
With closets full of skeletons
I'm a bittersweet girl
Demons out to get me as I stand alone

What did Ashlee Simpson say about "Bittersweet World"?
Genius Answer
Bittersweet World is the album title of my record it’s a song you know, it’s about basically if everybody could just kind of come together and be happy because we got one life to live, and there’s no reason for the pointing fingers. And I think we all could definitely say, oh, I’ve done that before, so it’s something instead of doing that maybe helping one another out.
