Lyrics
Bittersweet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the one side, truth towers like a cliff
On the other side, love dangles by a thread
And here is a climber who cannot find his eyes
And a falling woman wishing she was dead
Both side, why is it always bittersweet?
And the broken cloudy days
when I need the sunŒs heat
I need the heat, oh both ways
Why is it always bittersweet
And the broken cloudy days
When I need the sunŒs heat
Oh, I need the heat
Why, why is it bittersweet?
And the broken cloudy days
Is when I need the sunŒs heat
I need the heat
