Taste of life Lyrics

I've tasted bitterness

I've tasted sorrow

It's better than papa's cigarettes

It's so much better

Than mother's loneliness

I've tasted bitterness

And I've learned to love it so

Who taught you how to drown

Who taught you how to bleed

Who hung you by the tree

Who left you all alone

Who took you to the sea

Who washed you of your sin

Who taught you how to love

Who taught you how to cry

Child you don't have

To carry the weight

Of this sorrow

I've tasted bitterness

I've tasted sorrow

It's better than mama's loneliness

It's better than papa's sorrow

I've tasted bitterness

And I've learned to love it

Who taught you how to cry

Who taught you how to die

Who took you to the tree

And who hung you by the tree

Who left you all alone

Who forgot to write to you

Who never prayed for you child

Why are you so afraid child

If you find yourself in the ocean

It is okay for you to drown

You can drown

Let it go

You don't have to be so blue

You can be the sun in your universe

It's okay

Yes it's okay

You don't have to be so blue anymore

Oh child you're okay

Child you're okay

Don't you bother

It doesn't matter
