Bittersweet

(album: Daydreamer - 2018)

She was a girl with a smile always on her face
I remember it like it was yesterday
But it's a bittersweet memory, it's a cut that will ever bleed
And the time on the dock when she sat right next to me
I couldn't help thinking, this is how it ought to be, yeah

But little did I know, the future was bittersweet
And little did I know that we were not meant to be
Then my father said don't be lost in yesterday, oh
When your dreams are there, let some new ones come to play, oh
'Cause the past is gone, and there's nothing you can change, yeah
And the pain will be just a memory that we made
'Cause life is bittersweet

She was a good girl, no one could save me
Love is insanity, she drove me crazy
But it's a bittersweet memory, it's in my mind playing on repeat
And the time we spent, I never could forget
'Cause this is a cruel world, and that's just how it is, yeah

But little did I know, the future was bittersweet
And little did I know that we were not meant to be
Then my father said don't be lost in yesterday, oh
When your dreams are there, let some new ones come to play, oh
'Cause the past is gone, and there's nothing you can change, yeah
And the pain will be just a memory that we made
'Cause life is bittersweet

Wounds, they will mend and turn into scars
But nothing can mend my heart
There's nothing in the back of my mind, always haunting me
But if I push it down, bury it deep
Lock away my painful memories
Pass the key, I'm free to dream
Even if it's bittersweet

Then my father said don't be lost in yesterday, oh
When your dreams are there, let some new ones come to play, oh
'Cause the past is gone, and there's nothing you can change, yeah
And the pain will be just a memory that we made
'Cause life is bittersweet
Life is bittersweet
