Why you always want to get the best of me?
I'm like a seeing eye dog and I can't even see
They're naked and they're following my master who is blind
And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind
So, I picked up the pieces and I made a new start
Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark
I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart
But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bitter sweetheart
Bittersweet
Bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
Better get yourself a little street smart
Bitter sweetheart, sad but true
It's a bitter sweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
It's just my bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end
Tired of compliment fishing and impressing your friends
I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell
It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell
In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start
You always seem to end up with a bitter sweetheart
There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright
I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night
Bittersweet
Bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
Without a shortcut, without a head start
Bitter sweetheart, sad but true
It's a bitter sweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
My bitter sweetheart
It's the hardest part
Bitter sweetheart
Are you in there, are you beating?
Beating me up until I'm bleeding
How much blood can you spare?
Bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
Think just a drink might get you to the good part
Lyin' in bed just a wonderin' what to do
It's a bitter sweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
In time inside you find, you always wind up with a bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
Bitter sweetheart
In time inside you find, you always wind up with a bitter sweetheart
