You always said (bitter orange remix, Haute & Freddie tribute)

[Intro] [clean electric guitar eighth-note rhythm, synth bass enters] (Ooh-ooh) [Verse 1] [dry male vocals] You always said (Mmm-mmm) You always said You always said You always said it gets easier But here we are Wisdom tastes bitter All those pretty lies I swallowed whole [Chorus] [distorted electric guitar enters, full drums] You always said The truth , the truth would set us free You always said, But your freedom looks like chains to me You always said In the midnight hour I felt it lift me when I was down in the dark You always said, said Love conquers all [Verse 2] [drums drop to kick and snare only, clean guitar continues] Now that's a joke You said money can't buy happiness (Mmm) But tell that to my empty fridge Experience teaches best, they say As I learnt to bleed in silence And you promised pure gold [Chorus] [full band, driving energy] You always said The truth , the truth would set us free You always said But your freedom looks like chains to me You always said In the midnight hour I felt it lift me when I was down in the dark Yes, You always said [Bridge] [acoustic guitar rhythm, snare roll build-up] Every scar's a lesson learned And every burn's a badge of honor Every foe fought builds character Every life lived builds trust You always said (Mmm-mmm) [Chorus] [heavy distorted guitars, layered vocal harmonies] You always said The truth would set us free You always said When you wanted to stand tall above me You always said Now Im left with the dust of whom we used to be You always said, I longed to believe what you always said [vocal ad-libs] But I'm free tonight and I'll stay free Dont say it all again to me You give me all the little lies again But now babe Im focused and i can see, and I'm screaming every word out loud All you said But you never listened anyway [final drum hit, guitar feedback fades]
