She’s not much of a poet but she’s got this way with words
That keeps dragging me back to my love for romance
Despite the way it hurts
Just when I think that I’m enough
There always seems to be someone better than me
She’s bittersweet

So tell me where we’re going
And why I’m lonely
Tell me the words that you told me on the drive home
I want to know, where do we go
When the light’s not changing
Like the boy who’s waiting
I need to feel with my old heart again
So I can tell if we’re better off friends

I didn’t mean it like that
I never could understand
The loss of the love
I was chasing away
But you like it like that
Love and you back to back
Suddenly I’m in need
Of a motive in me

But they say the boy is growing weaker each day
And it shows but I know
That without you I’m just blossoming
Into the boy who loved to sing
But you, you got me in a choke

I didn’t mean it like that
I never could understand
The loss of the love
I was chasing away
But you like it like that
Love and you back to back
Suddenly I’m in need
Of a motive in me

Don’t say that I’m not the type to love long
Don’t say that I’m a lie

You cut me off
But you’ve got nothing to show for I took the fall
But it wasn’t enough
You’ve got this bittersweet bitter-sweetness
Cut me off, tell me I’m the only one
With the love that you’ve needed to be
You’ve got this bittersweet bitter-sweetness
