"Bittersweet" Lyrics

You are my sword.
Your love is its own reward.
My heart, I have found,
Gets carved surely by the pound.

God knows. I try,
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 favourite song.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet,
It's always bittersweet.

I cut and I bleed.
You seem to find that so hard to believe!
Well 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) Sometime we'll try to take it back.
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
They kiss my cheeks whenever we meet.
It's always bittersweet.

(Don't cry) For a love gone wrong
(Don't cry) That used to be my favourite song
(Don't cry) Tears so bittersweet
Fill my eyes whenever we meet.
Anyway...

We've grown and times change.
When we meet now it feels so strange.
Well I hold you like a sword
And you won't cut me,
Cut me like you did before

It's always bittersweet.
It's always bittersweet.
It's always bittersweet.
Bittersweet, bittersweet
