Bittersweet
Well, I met her when I was on a rebound spin
Comin' back from a love gone sour
How convenient for her to come along just then
The devil caught me at my weakest hour
But from where I'd been it seemed so perfect then
I just knew it didn't get much better
I gave away my soul and then she took control
I could've stopped it but somehow I let her
I'm feelin' it bittersweet, I'm reelin.' It's bittersweet
Have mercy. It's bittersweet, she knocked me off my feet
I'm cryin' it's bittersweet, I'm dyin.' It's bittersweet
Lord help me. It's bittersweet, such an awful thing to eat
Well, I left my friends and they became loose ends
I left my life for the love I needed
When hunger's drivin' you no tellin' what you'll do
All the warnin's will go by unheeded
So my kids are back in Minnesota now
And they're goin' through the long, cold winters
But I'm here in sunny California now
I should be happy but my heart's in splinters
I'm feelin' it bittersweet, I'm reelin.' It's bittersweet
Have mercy. It's bittersweet, she knocked me off my feet
I'm cryin' it's bittersweet, I'm dyin.' It's bittersweet
Lord help me. It's bittersweet, such an awful thing to eat
Yes, I knew that we weren't gettin' on too well
But what the heck, man. So love was lackin'
And though my life with her was just a livin' hell
My heart was broken when she said start packin'
Well, I met her when I was on a rebound spin
Comin' back from a love gone sour
How convenient for her to come along just then
The devil caught me at my weakest hour
But from where I'd been it seemed so perfect then
I just knew it didn't get much better
I gave away my soul and then she took control
I could've stopped it but somehow I let her
I'm feelin' it bittersweet, I'm reelin.' It's bittersweet
Have mercy. It's bittersweet, she knocked me off my feet
I'm cryin' it's bittersweet, I'm dyin.' It's bittersweet
Lord help me. It's bittersweet, such an awful thing to eat
