Lyrics
Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
Couldn't count the countless times that we have tried
Do we try to try again, or take defeat?
Either way, it's bittersweet
We love each other, there's no question there (no question there)
But hate each other when we don't fight fair (we don't fight fair)
Lately there's more hating as our world shakes 'neath our feet
To say the least, it's bittersweet
All the things we loved each other for at first we now despise
The passion and the tenderness now fades before our eyes
We've tested all the waters, but have we gone too deep?
To say the least, it's bittersweet
Bittersweet, bittersweet
Separate the chaff from wheat
Is our love now obsolete?
Oh-oh, it's bittersweet
There's more bitterness than sweetness
In the words that we now speak
Oh-oh, it's bittersweet (it's bittersweet)
Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
Oil and water, venom, honey, dark and light
Is it time to say hello or say goodbye?
We're oil and water, venom, honey, dark and light
Deep devotion (deep devotion), mixed emotion (mixed emotion)
A painful mix, indeed (a painful mix, indeed)
To say the least, it's bittersweet (it's bittersweet)
Bittersweet, bittersweet
Standing on the edge now, do we go or stay?
Do we go? Do we stay?
Will we live to regret it (will we?) if we just walk away? (If we just walk away)
It's a painful, hard decision, but it's one that we must make, oh
Oh (bittersweet)
So bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Bittersweet
Oh, oh, it's bittersweet
Oh, oh, bittersweet (bittersweet)
Bittersweet
Bittersweet
