Bittersweet

You are my sword
Your love is its own reward
My heart, I have found
Gets carved up by the pound
God knows I 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
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) For a love gone wrong
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
(Don't cry) Fill my eyes 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
We've grown and times change
When we meet now it feels so strange
I hold you like a sword
You won't cut me like you did before
It's always bittersweet
It's always bittersweet
It's always bittersweet
Bittersweet, bittersweet
It's always...
It's always bittersweet
It's always bittersweet
