Bittersweet Lyrics by Foxblood

2017

We spent the night outside on the porch drinking gin in the house on the coast as the storm rolled in
My regrets, where to begin?
It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
Your dark hair and your pale skin, and all the goddamn times I never let you in, shit
I swear to god I wish I told you everything
It's coming back to me, it's coming round again

We're hopeless again
We're hopeless again

Bittersweet, you know what they say
We shine and we fade, it's always the way
Bittersweet, you know what they say
I guess everything's going to kill you one day

The doctor said "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit
Take medicine, you'll feel again", but I sure as hell just feel like shit

Bittersweet, we shine and we fade
I guess everything's going to kill you one day

Bittersweet, you know what they say
We shine and we fade, it's always the way
Bittersweet, you know what they say
I guess everything's going to kill you one day

The doctor said "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit
Take medicine, you'll feel again", but I sure as hell just feel like shit
He says "It's probably all that drinking", and I say
"Doc, you're overthinking, why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?”

(We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
(We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
(We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
(We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again

There are pieces of us strewn across your bedroom floor
And there are pieces of me in a trail out your door
Your sister's sad smile as I passed her on the front porch
I got stuck in a downward spiral in a time when you needed more
I said "I'm sorry, you know' You said "Get out, just go”
And I went to pieces with you watching from your window
I've got these loveless bones, now all I know is alone
So I lit my final cigarette and I walked three postcodes home

We shine and we fade
We shine and we fade

The doctor said "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit
Take medicine, you'll feel again", but I sure as hell just feel like shit
He says "It's probably all that drinking", and I say
"Doc, you're overthinking, why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?”

Bittersweet, we shine and we fade
I guess everything's going to kill you one day
