Bittersweet Life

(album: How To Call A Bluff - 2009)

Lonely,
Stubborn and complacent,
You have insisted
On leaving me here,
Writing the same song
I started last year.

Lovely
Conjunctions and phrases,
Plays on a few words,
That you never meant.

I must have misread
All of the signals that
You never sent.

It's a bittersweet life,
And it's leaving me a-ok.
It's a bittersweet life,
I have loved and lost
My heart along the way.

Maybe I could still hold you,
Or you could call if you feel so inclined.
Please take your time
Locating whatever you're trying to find.

Maybe it's time to let go,
But I'm too scared
And so unprepared.

How do I forget,
Every moment in time that we shared?

It's a bittersweet life,
And it's leaving me a-ok.
It's a bittersweet life,
I have loved and lost
My heart along this.
Bittersweet life,
And it's leaving me a-ok.
It's a bittersweet life,
I have loved and lost
My heart along the way

I'm calling your bluff,
I have toyed with the idea of burning your stuff.
This is so rough,
And it's as if deserting me wasn't enough.
Well I've had enough,
I'm calling your bluff.

It's a bittersweet life,
And it's leaving me a-ok.
It's a bittersweet life,
I have loved and lost
My heart along this.
Bittersweet life,
And it's leaving me a-ok.
It's a bittersweet life,
I have loved and lost
My heart along the way
