Well, I've developed taste for the bitter herb
And that started long time ago
When I saw that the sweet and secure
Weren't working no more

I won't cry, I won't cry
It ain't that hard to say goodbye
It's time to try the taste of the bitter herb

Our life is changed
Our life is changed
Our life is changed
Our life is changed
From the bad

Well, it's time to taste that bitter herb
I've tried the sweet so long
But the path of least resistance
Is so strong

It's hard to change, it's hard to change
Bitter herb is less bitter than strange
But we run from the taste of the bitter herb

It's hard to change
It's hard to change
It's hard to change
It's hard to change
It's hard to change
And I'm afraid

Ya, I'm afraid
I'm afraid sometimes
But the bitter herb when I try
I feel more alive
