In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:
Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns
No I don't know how to love you
The way you want me to
Coz everytime I try
Something always changes with you
First it's cold baby
And then there's too much heat
One minute I'm up in heaven
And the next I'm down in the street
Coz we got a love
That's bittersweet
I said we got a love
It's bittersweet
Sometimes when I'm with you
It's like you're just not there
When I look into your eyes
I see that thousand yard stare
Then you're back in love with me
Like you can't get enough
Rough into smooth
And the smooth back into the rough
Ohhhh help me now
We got a love
That's bittersweet
We got a love, oh darlin'
That's bittersweet
I don't know anybody
Anybody like you
I never met anybody
Could make me feel the way you do
I wish that I could love you
The way you want me to
So scared you'll pull out the rug
Darling if I do
It's cold it's cold
And now there's too much heat
One mnute I'm up in heaven
And the next, I'm walking the street
We got a love
That's bittersweet
You know we got a love
That's bittersweet
We got a love
That's bittersweet
You know, we got a love, oh darlin'
That's bittersweet.
Flamin' hot
Then not.
Ooooooooh, bitter memory
I said we got a love, oooh,
Jerry Jeff Walker/Bob Livingston
My life for awhile was a party, but then I finally came around
Once again I began to start in to get my feet on solid ground
Cause living with some fallen angel was like to burn me down
To where I can see that love is bittersweet, oh, oh, bittersweet
I feel like a fool for believin' that I could run on shaky ground
With all the tracks I was leavin' I left a trail more lost than found
Nobody said love was easy and I know it's cold and hot
Believe it or not it taste bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
You say you love her, you love her not
You win, I lose, I give, you take, finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
She says she loves you, she loves you not
She wins, you lose, I give, she takes,
But finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love

This is a symphony
The bittersweet of life, of life.
Walk on with your scars, don't turn around
Run utill you see light, till you see light.
Yeah. Uh
The long road to success is dangerous
That's why I never claimed I was the best.
I want to be their breath.
Don't want to be the king
Ain't tryin to be your god, just want to live my dreams.
But an ordinary thing, history I'm a make.
Typically, those great have predetermined faith.
Mostly 'cause niggas hate you, tryin to fill up your plate.
Nigga's carnivore when there's so much at steak.
Ain't tryin to fight no war against my brother.
But I'm a man first and I demand my respect from all 'em.
Success sweet, nucka, is why I keep lookin'
But every other bite it slightly needs suga
Like whenever I look up, I'm expecting the light
I'm abusing the sunshine so I'm technically blind.
Translation cause my life is too sweet,
I can always go home and look down my street.
(It's bittersweet)
This is a symphony
The bittersweet of life, of life.
Walk on with your scars, don't turn around
Run utill you see light, till you see light.
This is a bittersweet life (life) [x2]
Uh, this bittersweetness of this artform,
Niggas will find a way to tweak it till the art's gone
Understand every imperfection,
I just embrace it and take it in within my essence.
With little effort, soon they will all respect it
I am the smelling-salt to whom soever narcoleptic
Success is what I work for, and when them dudes hate,
They make it worth more.
Chris Wale said the sky was the limit,
And only make news when your quarters are in it
So I'm a push it to the end and take quarters on shots
If I'm in gin till I win it.
Or pain kill it, cause I ain't tryin to feel it.
See I'm just tryin to fill up banks like Hilla-
Read all about me, believe that without me,
There is truth in these lies and they bleed on without me.
This is a symphony
The bittersweet of life, of life.
Walk on with your scars, don't turn around
Run utill you see light, till you see light.
[Ville]
I'm giving up the ghost of love,
In the shadows cast on devotion.
[Lauri]
She is the one that I adore,
Creed of my silent suffocation.
[Ville+Lauri]
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
[Ville]
Bittersweet.
[Lauri]
I won't give up,
I'm possessed by her.
[Ville]
I'm bearing her cross,
She's turned into my curse.
[Ville+Lauri]
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
[Lauri]
Bittersweet,
I want you.
[Ville]
Oh I wanted you.
[Lauri]
And I need you.
[Ville]
How I needed you.
[Ville+Lauri]
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
You try to tell me where your heart is
you say there's nothing wrong
and the honesty in your eyes tells me
that I should be strong
I don't want to get wrapped up in morbid reflection
because that's a pessimistic space
and the situations I imagine
are lost somewhere in you face
because when were together it's bittersweet
now your with him and I miss you
I feel somehow incomplete
I try to stand on my own
I take it one day at a time
and if you ask me how I'm doing
I bite my lip and say I'm fine
well I don't know
I can't sing
can't sleep do anything
I just know I'll be there waiting
for you to come around
I know you tell me all the time that I worry too much
but not a day goes by where I'm not thinking about you
what we had
what we could have
if you just give me one more chance
I miss you
Out Of Line Raise your glasses Think of the times we've
had Wash down your pride Think of all the things
We should have said We should have siad
Why does it have to end that way? Every hello means
good-bye someday All precious moments laid to waste And
all the good times washed away
Save up your smiles Wait for the impending crash Days
will be grey And nights will be black like cash
So raise your voice Speak up and make a wish Yeah,
raise your voice And tell me
What you miss You'll dearly miss
Why does it have to end that way? Every hello means
good-bye someday It seems like nothing's here to stay I
already miss you, already miss you all today
Think of all the times we had Think of what we should
have said Tonight is bittersweet, bittersweet The night
is bittersweet, bittersweet
Yeah
Why does it have to end that way? (Days will be grey)
Every hello means good-bye someday Why must we always
end that way? (All laid to waste) Let's raise our
glasses to decay
I'm giving up the ghost of love,
Endure shadows cast on devotion.
She is the one that I adore,
queen of my silent suffocation.
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
Bittersweet.
I won't give up.
I'm possessed by her.
I'm bearing a cross,
She's turned into my curse.
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
Bittersweet.
I want you.
Oh, I wanted you.
And I need you.
How I needed you.
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
Break this bittersweet spell on me,
Lost in the arms of destiny.
Bittersweet.
All i ever wanted was to be a drummer in a band never claimed to be a poet singer or god i'm just a man i came here 'cause i didnt have a better place to go so pardon me if i'm out of key... whatever i might have said sang written or done! admit ! mights be wrong make up your own mind dont take me seriously thats the only advice you should take from me... a happy pessimist singing a bittersweet serenade a sell-out some would say but at least i'm getting paid wihle we all march down our identity parade until we bend and watch our dreams slowly fade.
If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
Never thought things would change, hold me tight
Please don't say again that you have to go
A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Hold your silence
It's so violence since you're gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you
If I had told you
You would've listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away
It would never have been all the same
All our time what have been in vain
Cause you had to go
The sweetest thought
Had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments keep me warm
When you're gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
Make you into dark,
Straight into your heart.
Sorry's all you are,
I don't really care, I know you are.
Robots, robots,
Brainwashed babies,
Blood from a leech,
Spoken rabies,
Spastic, plastic, battery acid,
Yank on the leash,
Draggin you backwards,
Oh my,
Closed eyes, never see it coming.
There is nothing you can say,
You can't wish me away,
Every masochist, gets a turn,
The sadistic twist, you'll never learn,
In battery acid.
Battery acid in my veins - unidentified remains,
The yes button broke to automatic,
Irrational dosage of furious static erasing what
You are,
We are.
Jealous,
To feel the way you do,
To mention,
A lie, then call it true,
Feel for,
Nothing except for yourself,
And nobody else,
Hanging over the edge.
There is no thing you can say,
You can't wish me away
Every masochist, gets a turn,
The sadistic twist, you'll never learn,
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'll take with me.
No matter what I know now I'll get by.
Hooooo
I watch the trees loose autumn leaves,
I see them blowing in the breeze,
Images falling through my mind.
Floating outside time.
Open the window feel the cold,
Snowflakes in silver and in gold,
And the light fades away into dark, like my heart.
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'll take with me,
No matter what I know now I'll get by.
Hooooo
Bittersweet when we meet,
That's how it's come to be,
'Coz I'm stronger now and I won't run and hide.
Hooooo
Now the same leaves are young and green,
So many colours fill my dreams,
And seeds of hope will bloom with love.
A promise of brighter days to come,
Rainbows are dancing, clear blue skies,
Waterfalls glisten in my eyes.
Every day the sun makes a new start,
Like my heart.
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'll take with me,
No matter what I know now I'll get by.
Hooooo
Bittersweet when we meet,
That's how its come to be,
'Coz I'm stronger now and I won't run and hide.
Hooooo
Now and then we can all lose our way,
Tomorrow's gonna bring a better day,
And I can see that finally you're free.
Ho ho ho ho
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'll take with me,
No matter what I know now I'll get by.
Hooooo
Bittersweet when we meet,
That's how its come to be,
'Coz I'm stronger now and I won't run and hide.
Hooooo
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'll take with me,
No matter what I know now I'll get by.
Hooooo
Bittersweet when we meet,
That's how it's come to be,
'Coz I'm stronger now and I won't run and hide.
Hooooo
Bittersweet.
I'm Invisible
And You Won't Even Hear Me
I'm Divisible
Be What I Want To Be
You Won't Hear Me
But You'll Feel Me
There's No Reason
No Right Of Way
You enchant me so my bittersweet flower
Mystery of the sages come into my realm of imagination let me digest you
You enchant me so my bittersweet flower
Shall we make love feel the waves of the ocean come to rest in the eye of a storm
I cry myself to sleep over you
You come then you go
The more I fall the more you let go
The sweet taste of you stains my lips
Even through the pain it's only you I miss
Unlike those before I wanna free you
Let the sweetness of your kiss rush over me
I search so many lifetimes
Let my soul rest in your arms
(Murray on lead, w/ others doing supporting harmonies)
Now all of the planes have landed
And the soldiers are in their beds
Smoke rises from their clothing
And sweet dreams through their heads
Truth faced leaves a strange taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
The boy with the bloated belly
Hears today's trucks arrive
He puts down his baby sister
And makes his way outside
Truth faced leaves a strange taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
Everyone's a novelist
And everyone can sing
But no one talks when the TV's on...
(guitar solo)
(rest)
Sweet dreams fill their heads...
(Murray)
The lightning flashed, and the thunder rolled
and dark clouds filled the sky
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
From the Liner:
(Mike-vocals, bass drum; Murray-lead vocal, guitar; Jean-vocals, tambourine, sheet metal; Dave-vocals, bass)
I still think about how it used to be
So entwined in my own lies
Surrounded by this make believe
I've been held by despondency
I should have known the road I chose
Would run out on me, oh no
I could've faded, been jaded
By every consequence
Every word that you hurdled
Was part of my defense
You can hurt me, desert me
It makes no difference
I give as good as I get
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend
(You should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
(Don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
In my life, I had no room for compromise
The things I've done have been
The ones I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you barely recognize
The woman who depended on you
To sing a little praise or criticize, oh no
So I hide it, divide it
'Bout what I feel inside
Now I take it or make it
I'm gonna be alright
Whether you need me, believe me
You'll never hurt my pride
Finally all this feels like
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend
(You should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
(Don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
Look into my eyes, I won't be left behind
Every thing's going to be fine
And I have never felt like this
I have no need to reminisce
Those old days have gone
And I keep holding on
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend
(You should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
(Don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend
(You should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
(Don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again
(Never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend
(You should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away
(Don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
You are my sword
Your love is its own reward
My heart, I have found
Get's carved surely by the pound
God knows, I tried
Tried to hold you with all my might
But time has won
And I could never be that strong
(Don't cry)
I couldn't be that strong
(Don't cry)
That used to be my favorite song
(Don't cry)
Tears so bittersweet
(Don't cry)
Fill my eyes whenever we meet
It's always bittersweet
I cut and I bleed
You seem to find that so hard to believe
Well, that's just too, too bad
You could never touch the love that we had
(Don't cry)
For the love we had
(Don't cry)
Sometimes we try to take it back
(Don't cry)
Tears so bittersweet
(Don't cry)
Then kiss my cheeks whenever we meet
It's always bittersweet
(Don't Cry)
For a love gone wrong
(Don't cry)
That used to be my favorite song
(Don't cry)
Tears so bittersweet
(Don't cry)
Fill my eyes whenever we meet
Anyway
We've grown and times change
When we meet now it feels so strange
Well, I hold you like a sword
And you won't cut me, cut me like you did before
It's always bittersweet
It's always bittersweet
It's always bittersweet
Bittersweet
I used to cry
I used to cry alone
Watch my face as I grew older
Reflect the world I've known
The kind of love that I would need
Tasted too bittersweet to me
I used to wonder
What it was I did wrong
No amount of conversation
Could keep me holding on
The kind of love ...
Every little tear
That ever used to fall
Broke most of my resistance
That's the cruelest twist of all
The kind of love ...
Don't look back
I don't stop to hang around
Don't except the disappointment
Relationships I have found
Now all of the planes have landed
And the soldiers are in their beds
Smoke rises from their clothing
And sweet dreams through their heads
Truth faced leaves a strange taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
The boy with the bloated belly
Hears today's trucks arrive
He puts down his baby sister
And makes his way outside
Truth faced leaves a stragne taste
When joy and sadness meet
A country rain on a city street
This life is bittersweet
Everyone's a novelist
And everyone can sing
But no one talks when the TV's on...
The lightening flashed, and the thunder rolled
Dark clouds filled the sky
A country rain on a city street
I'm just settin
I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no
I'm not pulling for you
You're just pulling at me
I'm not betting man
But this is a sure thing
I've been to Tokyo
And to South Africa
So many places
That you might say I've seen it all
But my favorite place
Is the warm embrace
Of holding your hair back
In a bathroom stall
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets
That I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you
I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
All that hate is
Gonna burn you up
It keeps me warm at night
Warmer than anyone
I think how many drinks I've had
No more in either hand
I'm slurrin' on purpose
And it's certainly worth it
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets
That I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you
I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
I guess that's how it's gotta be
You and me
Another purgatory
It's such a mystery why you're here
And you became
As clear as cellophane
My voice of reasoning
I don't think I can take the way you
Make me out to be
I'm just settin'
I'm just setting a trap
And I'm not pulling, no
I'm not pulling for ya
Everything I do is bittersweet
You could tell me secrets
That I'll probably repeat
I'm not trying to hurt you
I just love to speak
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth
So bittersweet
It feels like we're pulling teeth
Don't talk to me in that familiar way
When the keys are in my hand
Don't say that everything is here to stay
And I must try to understand
When I'm trying not to look into your eyes
Trying not to listen to your lies
Trying just to keep hold of myself
Oh, but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf
You say, I set a path for you to follow
And I've already given in
But I only meant for you to taste, not swallow
Where I end is where you must begin
And try not to look into their eyes
Try not to listen to their lies
Try just to keep hold of yourself
Oh, I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf
She's such a sweet girl free of the taints of this world
Think that's a compliment, don't be so full of sentiment
Why you worship sweetness? What virtue's there in weakness?
Being pushed about is nothing much to shout about, I know
So try not to look into their eyes
Try not to listen to their lies
Try just to keep hold of yourself
I've been carrying this old luggage
And it's really been buggin' me
So when you called to me see
I couldn't believe it, could it really be?
You need to feel forgiveness
I need to feel resentment running down the drain
This bruising chain I've carried
Is the pain that I am burying today
Now I can breathe
And I feel grace rush over me
It pours through my skin
And lets you in and we are free, yeah
Now I can breathe
And I feel grace rush over me
It runs through my veins
And what I taste is bittersweet
The clock is always ticking
Bitterness grows by the minute, why can't we realize
The wounds that we're inflicting on our own flesh
It isn't healing by keeping love inside, yeah
Now I can breathe
And I feel grace rush over me
It pours through my skin
And lets you in and we are free, yeah
Now I can breathe
And I feel grace rush over me
It runs through my veins
And what I taste is bittersweet, yeah
Now I can breathe
And I feel grace rush over me
It pours through my skin
And lets you in and we are free, yeah
Now I can breathe
And I feel grace rush over me
It runs through my veins
One of the most notable features of this song is the haunting cello track by our friend, Phil Peterson. We wanted this track to be full of 'sounds', so we kept adding things and building it up. The result is a strangely emotional song.
We get persuaded by things that look right -- that look inviting. Though they may sometimes fill temporary needs, they can never fulfill us. If we then choose to chase after these things, we are left to deal with the results of our actions ("i gave and i gave and i gave 'til i'd nothing left except consequence"). In the midst of all of this, the chorus is dealing with the knowledge of our wrong actions ("why do we stand there in constant fear though so aware"), when what we need to do is turn to the Lord and throw these things down at His feet. Amen.
as sweet as it was
or as sweet as it seemed
like the most magnificent wonder
that was just a dream
and it shook me all up
and it stirred me around
but it left me cold and wanting
cause it had no ground
oh, none to be found
and i know why
(know why i sell myself short)
and i know why
(know why i sell my Savior small)
but it won't make me cry
make me cry tonite
the beauty was such
and immeasurably so
my eyes were alive and bright
to the blinding glow
and as i embraced
to love it more
i shivered and fell like a leaf
to the forest floor
where i was before
and i know why
(know why i sell myself short)
and i know why
(i sell my Savior small)
but it won't make me cry
but it won't make me cry
(why do we stand there?)
in constant fear
almost near
as if my only thought
and my only breath
i gave and i gave and i gave
till i'd nothing left
except consequence
and i know why
(know why i sell myself short)
and i know why
(know why i sell my Savior small)
have i run to Christ?
have i?
(why do we stand there)
in constant fear
almost near
(why do we stand there?
without a care
though so aware
Seven sins of wantonness and
everything that's good is gone
Sell it all for glory from the peers
Silicone priestess scratch the back and
twists the knife to bone
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins
I'm the enemy in the enemies now
Swallowed the pill
Drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
Try to hold the world there sinking,
swimming in a paper cup
Try to own the one beneath the skin
Held up to the flame 'till singeing
skin begins to draw and tuck
Never told there's a chance to win
What couldn't be, wouldn't be now
Hold your hands up to the sky and try
so hard to rise above
(Valo)
I'm giving up the ghost of love
In the shadows cast on devotion
(Ylonen)
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation
(Together)
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
(Valo)
Bittersweet
(Ylonen)
I won't give up
I'm possessed by her
(Valo)
I'm bearing her cross
She's turned into my curse
(Together)
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
(Ylonen)
Bittersweet
I want you
(Valo)
Oh I wanted you
(Ylonen)
And I need you
(Valo)
How I needed you
(Together)
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
I'm not the devil
And that's untrue
I'm just not like you
Anger holds my hands
Keeps me in seclusion
A prison
But I can't help it that I hate everyone
Even you
See it
breathing
all the hate and denial
Let you again
left out
feeling hollow and broken
A saw
the devil
crawl inside your heart
Binding my soul
Tearing me apart
Sit in my room
Locked away
Constricted
The burning ash and choking smoke
Dry out my insides
But I'll still fight every single day
Till death
See it
breathing
all the hate and denial
Let you again
left out
feeling hollow and broken
A saw
the devil
crawl inside your heart
Binding my soul
Tearing me apart
See everything fall around here
I can't help anyone now
How many times do I have to die?
There's no blood left in my wrists
In my wrists
In my wrists
Find a way back inside of my mind
Reasons hold away, you can't hold back again
Will you find a reason why I should not break?
No I don't care
Not this time
For the reasons why?
I'm not the devil
And that's untrue
I'm just not like you
Anger holds my hands
Keeps me in seclusion
How can I deny the feeling?
Can't use the fuse that lights the spark
Don't think I'll hold out too much longer
The lines are blurred in the dividing
I deserve light, I desire dark
Your influence is getting stronger
Define by mind, my body is too curious
So won't you show me all there is to know?
I know I shouldn't call
But something makes me crave the heat
Your love is bittersweet
(So here I am)
The fire in your touch
I always find so hard to beat
Your love is bittersweet
(So here I am)
No substitute for real pleasure
You feed the need that lies in me
I've lost all sense to this devotion
One touch and there's a rush of electricity
So won't you show me all there is to know?
I know I shouldn't call
But something makes me crave the heat
Your love is bittersweet
(So here I am)
The fire in your touch
I always find so hard to beat
Your love is bittersweet
(So here I am)
Your love is bittersweet, bittersweet
[Incomprehensible]
Your love is [Incomprehensible]
(So here I am)
Your love is bittersweet, bittersweet
[Incomprehensible]
Anytime you call my name
I know I shouldn't call
But something makes me crave the heat
Your love is bittersweet
(So here I am)
The fire in your touch
I always find so hard to beat
Your love is bittersweet
My girlfriend told me
That she don't love me anymore
She packed her bags and her cell phone
And moved right next door
She called and told me
She was moving in with my best friend
This is where the party ends
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Want my ring back
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
My heart is black
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Screw my friend Jack
I can see her through the window
With my ex-friend Jack
She broke my heart
So my guitar and me wrote this crap
I don't care if their love affair ever lasts
'Cause I'm about to kick his ass
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Want my ring back
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
My heart is black
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Screw my friend Jack
One day Jack came over to apologize
He told me my ex which is his new girlfriend
Was out every night
Jack said, "I think she's been cheating
With my new friend Jim"
Say you love her too bad
'Cause now she loves him
Pulled a Jerry Springer on me
Now you're outta luck
My new girlfriend thinks you all suck
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
Sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Want my ring back
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
My heart is black
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Every now and then
I still get a flashback
Of the time I spent
Thinking you could be that one
Should I have just kept your love?
As I understand,
We did have some good times
On the other hand,
Got my crying all night
It was too much for my mind
So even though I left you
I can't forget you
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Yes I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really love you
I ain't gonna lie
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet...
I still have the box
Full of things you gave me
Star to throw it out
Something always stops me, yeah
I'm not as over you as I said.
Deep inside my heart
I made the right decision
But it's kinda hard
When you mind is thinking
Did I make a big mistake?
Even though I left you
I can't forget you
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Guess I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Then I really love you
I ain't gonna lie
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet...
See you have to understand
That somebody is gonna get hurt
Out of this situation
And you just hope it's not you
At times...
Part of me wants you, part of me don't
Part of me is missing you, part of me is gone
Part of me is saying that the love is still strong,
Part of me is letting go
So even though I left you
I can't forget you
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Guess I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really love you
I ain't gonna lie
When I think about you, it's bittersweet
Release the gate of beautiful, I am staying down to hide in rooms away
These tears they build me up a house,
then they pour on down and wash the house away
And I am left to fight the waves he's around me constantly
I kissed these lonely tears I shed goodbye
Because I'm bittersweet, without you father there's no reaso
CLOSE up my heart it makes me feel,
like these rooms will close in locking all the doors
With these hands and broken stones,
I have built a legacy and now it's time to move on
I kissed these lonely tears I shed goodbye
Because I'm bittersweet, without you father there's no reason
He's around me constantly
So get off of my soul
I kissed these lonely tears I shed goodbye
I woke up none morning to find my love gone
My love is gone for you too
Replaced by something new
It's not another guy but of a mind's that been renewed a new feeling revelation of you and I
That we can never be together
It seems like we'll stay that way
Hoping that the pain will truly go away
Oh, it's friends we'll remain till the end of the day
Platonic doesn't change a thing for me
While it lasted it was bittersweet altogether
My affections hasn't disappeared
Falling in love's easy
Head up in the clouds
Put your feet back on the ground first love is hard to forget
I'll take my stand now to resolve this situation then it's intangible, improbable, you and I
That we can never be together
It seems like we'll stay that way
Hoping that the pain will truly go away
Oh, it's friends we'll remain till the end of the day
Platonic doesn't change a thing for me
While it lasted it was bittersweet altogether
My affections hasn't disappeared
You already said to her I do to forever
Breaking my heart in two singing
You already said to her I do to forever
Breaking my heart in two singing
Oh, it's friends we'll remain till the end of the day
Platonic doesn't change a thing for me
While it lasted it was bittersweet altogether
My affections hasn't disappeared
Oh, it's friends we'll remain till the end of the day
Platonic doesn't change a thing for me
While it lasted it was bittersweet altogether
All the lights were turning on
And you were mine
And all the pain was gone
Remember the night
Far away so far away from home
Together there so many years ago
The last time that night
We made believe that nothing mattered
Closed our eyes
Walked to the cliff and took a dive
Like running from a murder
I remember the last time that we touched
Wishing there'd be another night so much
Bittersweet feeling inside
My body knew the truth it didn't matter
I still was with you...
Falling fast so I kept the time behind my back
It cut through like a knife
We tried to survive
On the run from what we had to face
Now we're separated by a fall from grace
Love buried alive
We made believe that nothing mattered
Closed our eyes
A flash of bursting memory
Flower black like my Blood
Flowering in my Heart
Heavily bowed to Ground
I feel smell of Cold
Picture rumpled in Memory
Nude of Woman who I Know
lovely Nakedness of Feelings
perfect Colours of Shapes
I'm standing face to face to this Nakedness
Seabreeze is worming through my Hair
I'm flying away to distant Lands of Feelings
which are Spreading all over My BodyI'm watching the Sunset
Dead and Silent Glare
Rays are sliding on Waves
they don't Reach Coast
Sea is splitting my Thoughts
to Thousand Pieces by a Cliff
incoherent Shapes of Clouds
I'm Prisoner
I'm standing face to face ...
Lock of time hidden in my breath
Of things real and things I've dreamt
Holding hearts in balance it is like
Maybe we were once intertwined
Raising souls up to the moon as we
Rise again,
Maybe then we will meet
Only tides are racing through your mind
Make a wish and then goodbye
Charlatans in the ruse tonight
Where heat and light touch the sky
And the sun is rising slow there's more to write
Lock of time written in my heart
Why were we once torn apart
Only tides are racing through your mind and each
Bittersweet night, spent lying on my back.
Bitter tired mind, thoughts running through my head.
Life spent searching for the next always wondering.
(Always, always)
Have I wasted all my time? Have I wasted all my life thinking of you.
Don't want to spend another day.
Don't want to see this love decay.
I know the truth.
The pain surrounds
I watch it rain
I watch it trickle down
I feel so clear
You let it out
I watch it disappear
I don’t quite know
Just where it ends
Just where the water flows
And I can’t quite see
Just where it was
Just where it use to be
And I can’t believe in nothing
Or anyone that I can’t see
You know it’s better than it’s ever been
And that’s good enough for me
Your love was bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet, it’s bittersweet
Your love is killing me, killing me, it’s killing me
Yes I walk the line
I do it now
I’ve done it all the time
I feel so free
You let me out
You let me be my be
And I don’t feel quite so right
When you tuck me in
You tuck me nighty night
Just like I’ve been wrong
I do this now
I’ve done it all along
And I can’t believe in nothing
Or anyone that I can’t see
You know it’s better than it’s ever been
And that’s good enough for me
Your love was bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet, it’s bittersweet
Your love was killing me, killing me, it’s killing me
This is the best day of my life
This is the best day of my life
This is the best day of my life
This is the best day of my life
I can’t believe in nothing
Or anyone that I can’t see
You know it’s better than it’s ever been
And that’s good enough for me
Your love was bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet, it’s bittersweet
Your love was killing me, killing me, it’s killing me
This is the best day of my life

i gotta go
(i gotta go)
ohhh
I still think about how it used to be
So entwined in my own lies, surrounded by this make believe
I've been held by despondency
I should have known the road I chose would run out on me (oh no)
I could've faded
Been jaded
By every consequence
Every word that you hurdled
Was part of my defense
You can hurt me
Desert me
It makes no difference
I give as good as I get
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
In my life, I had no room for comprimise
The things I've done have been the ones I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you barely recognise
The woman who depended on you to sing a little praise or criticise (oh no)
So I hide it
Divide it
Bout what I feel inside
Now I take it
Or make it
I'm gonna be alright
Whether you need me
Believe me
You'll never hurt my pride
Finally all this feels like
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
Look into my eyes
I wont be left behind
Everything's going to be fine
And I have never felt like this
I have no need to reminisce
Those old days have gone
And I keep holding on
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
the bittersweet and incomplete
the feeling i'm surrounded by you
the great mistakes that people make
i'll always feel a bit betrayed by you
your anger simply compliments
the feeling i am hunted by you
i've seen your will to overwhelm
be squandered by the fact you still blame me
the bittersweet and incomplete
the feeling i'm completed by you
the great mistakes that people make
i'll always feel a bit destroyed by you
the seconds pass and complicate
the walls that have been built around us
a taste of losing everything
and one thing i will always love more than you
i told myself i had the stregnth to overcome
i am one amoung a million and a part of everyone
i told myself the world is greater than us both
Even though you want it
You really shouldn't think about it
Treason is a tar pit
It's so tacky to preserve alone
Can you live like a crow?
There's your answer.
As you pick at my bones with your friends
And their barren tongues won't fill your lungs.
(Love tends to dry in hands that don't try)
And you can find it in a heartbeat, and leave it tangled in the bed sheets
You burn your bridges in the backseat then show up widowed on the high street
Come on say you've done it
Though we don't have to talk about it
The stains left on the carpet
Scream loud enough for all to know
Do your legs fail the floor?
There's your answer
A mistake with a sword
Needs a ransom
But you've got no jazz to have the cash
(Love tends to dry in hands that don't try)
And you can find it in a heartbeat, and leave it tangled in the bed sheets
You burn your bridges in the backseat then show up widowed on the high street
See ya gotta know what i wanna do
When i'm with you
Can't you see that i wannabe
Next to u
And i don't get what's so great about
Wasting time just making out
Puttin ur hands up on my chest
Uhn uh i don't like that
Cant u see, y u gotta be that way
Sometimes i completely adore u
Other days, just wish i could ignore u
I wanna chill out
Wannabe
Laid back
Like before
Lie down
Sit aound
Laugh out
Hear me shout
Don't care
What'd u say?
Don't listen anyway
So tell me
Baby
Why can't
U see
That what u wanna do
What u wanna do
I don't want to hear from you again
Because it will only make things harder than they are
No unexpected midnight calls
Stop confusing me, we can't go on like this
I never knew that I could feel so primitive
I never thought that I would fall so easily
I never wanted to betray another loyalty
Save me from your bittersweet love
Just stay away
Don't make me fall in love with you again
'cause anything but bittersweet love
Would be o.k.
I never want a love like that again
Just when I was feeling better
You had to waltz right in and tear me down again
Please be gentle with this heart
I don't want to hear from you again
because it will only make things harder than they are
no unexpected midnight calls
stop confusing me, we can't go on like this
I never knew that I could feel so primitive
I never thought that I would fall so easily
I never wanted to betray another loyaltysave me from your bittersweet love
just stay away
don't make me fall in love with you again
cuz anything but bittersweet love
would be o.k.
I never want a love like that again
just when I was feeling better
you had to waltz right in and tear me down again
please be gentle with this heart
because it would never stand to be ripped apart again
Black and blue heart in two
Her perfume creeps into my room tonight
Troubled eyes make up hides
A tear that found it's way into her life
Chorus
And now she's
Sweeping up the broken dreams
Acting out the final scene
Savoring the bittersweet taste of love
Keep aloof witht he proof
That's bottled up inside you on the shelf
Sugar pill icy chill
You only ache from beating up yourself
Chorus
And now I'm bailing out the sympathy
Hoping you'll consider me
Drowning in the bittersweet pool of love
Seems the more I reach
The further I'm falling
From her tree
(They) tell you love is sweet
But watch when you take a bite
You may spoil your appetite
Woke today
To the rain
That trickled down between
My window pain
Nothing new but for you
Another man to
Take the other's place
Chorus
And now I'm
Counting down the calories
You only want me in between
See ya gotta know what i wanna do
When i'm with you
Can't u see that i wannabe
Next to u
And i dont get whats so great about
Wasting time just making out
Puttin hands up on my chest
Unnh un i dont like that
Can't u see why u gotta be that way
Sometimes I completely adore
Other days just wish i could ignore u
I wanna chill out
wannabe
laid back
like before
lie down
sit around
laugh out
hear me shout
don't care
whatd u say
don't listen anyway
so tell me
baby
y cant
u see
that what u wanna do what u wanna do
With the sweet comes the bitter
With the bitterness the pain
With the pain comes the hate
With hate comes the rage, no love remains
[2x]
One by one the smiles all stolen
A bittersweet reminder wrenched off your face
One by one the smiles gone shy
A bittersweet reminder wrenched away
With the sweet comes the bitter
The bitterness the pain
With the pain comes the hate
With hate comes the rage, no love remains
[2x]
Slowly sense of humor creeping over
Leaves a smile untouched
The rage that turned the hatred
Turns the bitterness to sweet
From the rage comes the pain
From the pain comes the hate
From the hate comes the bitter
The bitterness the sweet and love remains
From the sweet comes the bitter
The bitterness the pain
With the pain comes the hate
With the hate comes the rage
With the rage comes the pain
With the pain comes the hate
With the hate comes the bitter
The bitterness the sweet
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
I am like a bittersweet pie!
Filled with love and also deny
When you`re not around,everythimg goes down
Everything goes wrong with meee;
When you`re not around,everything goes down
Why in hell you cannot see?
I can feel your love is real
But I know that you`re making me sick!
Boy ,you're serving me a poison meal
And I know that you`re making me sick!
~REPEAT 2X~
I think I`m better,I think I`m better
I think I`m b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-better
I think I`m better,I think I`m better
I think I`m b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-better,without youuuuu
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You are like a bittersweet pie!
But you are filled with cream and the cherry top lie!
When you`re not around,everythimg goes down
Everything goes wrong with meee;
When you`re not around,everything goes down
Why in hell you cannot see?
I can feel your love is real
But I know that you`re making me sick!
Boy ,you serving me,you poison me
And I know that you`re making me sick!
~REPEAT 2X~
I think I`m better,I think I`m better
I think I`m b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-better
I think I`m better,I think I`m better
Knowing how much I love you
Is not as painful
As knowing I’ll never have you
Watching day by day
I can’t seem to find
The right words to say
I imagine all the possibilities
To make you mine
My head goes round and round
It feels like I’ll lose my mind
And it’s bittersweet
All my fantasies
That will never be while you’re next to me
Oh, I can’t believe
Can you read my mind?
Will you ever find my heart?
Shall I take you there?
Those are the questions
That make me scared
I dare myself sometimes
To tell you what’s on my mind
But I know once revealed
My fate will have been sealed
And it’s bittersweet
All my fantasies
That will never be while you’re next to me
Oh, I can’t believe
Your sweet embrace is all I have
From time to time to comfort me
I know it can’t, will never be
I close my eyes and try to dream
I try to dream
Try to dream
Try to dream
And it’s bittersweet
All my fantasies
That will never be while you’re next to me
