Lyrics

Bittersweet

It's 2 am
I'm staring at the screen
of flashing frames
To dull the noisy chatter
filling up my head

I switch between the scenes
of Sherlock Holmes and Mystery
but all I hear-stuck on repeat is
good girls don't have dirty laundry

Who is perfect
who wants to be
just a pretty girl
a wordless story
Yeah, who is perfect
who wants to be
just a pretty girl
yeah yeah

Bittersweet-I'm bittersweet
Do you still want me
Falling on my knees to please you
Will you catch me
And I know I'm not cherry filling
I know you're tired of hearing
Bittersweet-I'm bittersweet
Bittersweet

It's 3 am
and sleep is nowhere near
your scent's still here
I see a text from you at
quarter after two

And maybe I'd misstepped
By chasing dreams instead of being
the girl you thought you knew-
the girl who always hid her darkened laundry

Who is perfect
who wants to be
just another pretty girl
a carbon copy
Yeah, who is perfect
who wants to be
just a goodie girl-
Yeah, yeah

Bittersweet-I'm Bittersweet
Do you miss, miss me
I'd fall on my knees to please you
If you asked me
And I know I'm not sticky candy
I know, you may never trust me
Bittersweet-I'm bittersweet
Yeah oh yeah

If I were a different girl
I might let go
If I were a different girl
I might be so-so good but I'm

Bittersweet-I'm bittersweet
Do you still love me
Bittersweet-I'm bittersweet
Will you forgive me
Bittersweet-I'm bittersweet
Are we done fighting
Bittersweet, I'm bittersweet
How long can we keep crying

Open your eyes
just take a bite
I am bittersweet

but those sticky sweets
those sticky sweets
may you leave you wanting
