Bittersweet

A little light looks through, her bedroom window.

She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems,

Of brighter meadows, melting sunsets,

Her hair blowing in the breeze.

And she can't see me watching.

I'm thinking, love...

It's bittersweet, both and sweet and bitter, bitter and sweet

It's a bitter sweet, surrender

It's bitter sweet, both sweet and bitter

Bitter and sweet, It's a bitter sweet, surrender

I said I'm older now. I work in a city. We live together.

But it's different than my dream.

Morning light fills the room. I rise.

She pretends she's sleeping.

Are we everything we wanted?

I'm thinking, love...

I said I know we don't talk about it.

We don't tell each other...

All the little things that we need.

We work our way around each other

As we tremble and we... as we tremble and we bleed.
