Bitter Truth Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Our missing pieces walk between us
When we were moving through the door
You called 'em mine, I called 'em yours
You make me get so angry
And I'd stay there on my own
We both make peace but all alone
[Chorus]
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
[Verse 2]
I can't read it, didn't mean it
As you would rage how I was wrong
Life is too short, and you'd stay too long
Let's be honest, we were strongest till I let you drag me down
I was sorry then, I'm not now
[Bridge]
Some get a golden heart
Some get a riverside
Some get a house that lets the years go by
[Verse 3]
That life is ending, you seem contented
While the graveside flowers die
I call 'em yours, you call 'em mine
Nothing makes silence like experience
There's a message in my eyes
You'd better love yourself, 'cause I tried
[Chorus]
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
Our missing pieces walk between us
When we were moving through the door
You called 'em mine, I called 'em yours
You make me get so angry
And I'd stay there on my own
We both make peace but all alone
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
I can't read it, didn't mean it
As you would rage how I was wrong
Life is too short, and you'd stay too long
Let's be honest, we were strongest till I let you drag me down
I was sorry then, I'm not now
Some get a golden heart
Some get a riverside
Some get a house that lets the years go by
That life is ending, you seem contented
While the graveside flowers die
I call 'em yours, you call 'em mine
Nothing makes silence like experience
There's a message in my eyes
You'd better love yourself, 'cause I tried
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song

This song is to me about the break up of a marriage. The narrator realised he was being dragged down, and left. He was sorrowful about it at the time, but now knows its for the best.
@basher132 I think it's about a couple that lost a kid and they resent each other over it. The last verse said life that is ending not love that is ending. Idk I just feel like the phrase "I called em yours you called em mine."
