The bitter end lyrics - Alter Bridge song

I've walked every road
And turned every corner
Searched high and low
Where I did not belong

Adrift with the tide
Always hungry and yearning
If only I'd known
That the answer
Was here all along

The bitter end will come in time
But the joy I have found
In the sweet here and now
Keeps me alive

I've kissed the lips
Of an angel in waiting
Devil in kind
I've been lost and deceived

The thrill had to fade
In this world for the taking
Once I woke up
To what mattered.
Then I could see

The bitter end will come in time
But the joy I have found
In the sweet here and now
Keeps me alive

We're lost on a road
Where all we can find
Are just the remnants of hope
That somehow we leave far behind

But this much I know
Somehow we'll be alright
Cause It's never too late
To learn how to start living right

The bitter end will come in time
But the joy I have found
In the sweet here and now
Keeps me alive

The bitter end will come in time
Starting right now
I'll stop falling down
And start living right
