Bittersweet Songtext
von Juliana Finch

I′ve walked this block before, I ain't no kid, I′ve been around
I've loved and lost and now I know exactly what I've found
Nothing lasts forever, you know that makes it better

I′m not a cynic, I′m just prone to some forms of conjecture
And I can find myself suspicious of a grand gesture
But you keep showing up, that overflowing cup

It feels so good, it hurts a little every time we meet
A heart that never aches is just a taste without the heat
That candy coated love's a sugar buzz, it′s obsolete
Keep that honey, baby, and give me bittersweet


I used to think I'd be protected if I kept it clean
Avoiding oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine
One crisis I′d averted to keep from getting hurt
Turns out that heartache can't be healed unless you stop to feel it
And pleasure′s waiting on the other side when you reveal it
I had to let it in and risk and risk and risk again

It feels so good, it hurts a little every time we meet
A heart that never aches is just a taste without the heat
That candy coated love's a sugar buzz, it's obsolete
Keep that honey, baby, and give me bittersweet
Keep that honey, baby, I want that bittersweet

That rush of hope′s more potent when there′s a reason to doubt
The antidote to shutting it out

Without a single cloud, a sunny sky feels incomplete
My heart's a little broken, but I still feel the beat
That candy coated love′s a sugar buzz, it's obsolete
Keep that honey, baby, and give me bittersweet
Keep that honey, baby, I want that bittersweet

Keep your honey, baby, and give me bittersweet
Keep that honey, baby, I want that bittersweet
