about

This song is about how hurt people hurt people. It owes a creative debt to Upstream by Mary Oliver, may she rest in peace 🍃

lyrics

Dear bitter man
I’ve come home
My parents both seem smaller
It can’t be that I’ve grown

Dear bitter man
Won’t you take me upstream
I don’t fit under this skin
But a new one hasn’t found me

I don’t think she meant to lie
But I know she did
I don’t think you meant to betray me in kind
But you did

Dear bitter man
What’s it like to rest
It’s been four years of starving
So much for my best

Oh bitter man
Is there hope for me
I’m not attached to my likeness
Which way would they like me to be

I don’t think she meant to lie
But I know she did
I don’t think you meant to let me slip your mind
But you did
I don’t think she meant to lie
She was just a kid
I don’t think you meant to betray me in kind
But you did
