[Verse 1: Ryan Leitru]
Bitter roots
I can't remove
The poison inside you
Bitter roots
Sorrow runs deeper
Than I ever knew

[Chorus: Ryan Leitru]
This thorn in my side
Was once so easy to hide
Beneath the surface, I tried
To reach deeper inside
(Inside)
But I just can't deny

[Verse 2: Ryan Leitru]
These bitter roots
I can't remove
The pain you held on to
Oh these bitter roots
Feed the disease
Spoil all the fruit
My bitter roots

[Chorus: Ryan Leitru]
This thorn in my side
Was once so easy to hide
Beneath the surface, I try
To reach deeper inside (Inside)
But I just can't deny
[Bridge: Mattie Montgomery & Ryan Leitru]
Reach deeper down inside
Release me
Consume the pain I cannot hide
Let me go
Reach deeper down inside
Release me
Consume the pain I cannot hide
Let me go

[Ending: Mattie Montgomery & Ryan Leitru]
Take it all away
My skin is stronger than soil
My heart won't be pierced by these thorns
Let me go, Take it all away
My skin is stronger than soil
My heart won't be pierced by these thorns
Tear out the bitter roots
