Bittersweet Lyrics by Jackson Watson

Kaleidoscope

2021

[Verse-1]
Why does love have to be so bittersweet?
Can we drop it, can you come and kiss me softly?
I’m in despair after you left me so hopeful
Didn’t take me long to realize it was going wrong

[Chorus]
I’m drinking to remember and not to forget
Trying to remember to never trust love again
Came back into my life to try and fix it all
And call me a fool for believing the lies

[Post-Chorus]
Your actions told me you were interested
And I was dumb enough to give into it
Maybe I was just so awfully desperate
Or was I too blinded by love that I didn’t see it?

[Verse-2]
Why does love have to be so bittersweet?
I wanna be your friend and love you equally
I think I mistook your friendly innuendos
As sparking up something I thought I understood

[Chorus]
I’m drinking to remember and not to forget
Trying to remember to never trust love again
Came back into my life to try and fix it all
And call me a fool for believing the lies

[Post-Chorus]
Your actions told me you were interested
And I was dumb enough to give into it
Maybe I was just so awfully desperate
Or was I too blinded by love that I didn’t see it?

[Verse-3]
Why does love have to be so bittersweet?
I don’t wanna forget what happened discreetly
I want your arms across my legs like that one time
Before I have to grow up, move on, say goodbye
I don't wanna say it

[Outro]
I don't wanna go, don't wanna say it, don't wanna leave you, baby
Can we stay together, forever, tonight and tomorrow?
And forever, together...
