Bittersweet

We spent the night outside on the porch drinking Gin in the house on the coast as the storm rolled in My regrets, where to begin? It's coming back to me, it's coming round again Your dark hair and your pale skin, And all the goddamn times I never let you in, shit I swear to God I wish I told you everything It's coming back to me, it's coming round again We're hopeless again We're hopeless again Bittersweet, you know what they say We shine and we fade, it's always the way Bittersweet, you know what they say I guess everything's going to kill you one day The doctor said, "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit Take medicine, you'll feel again", But I sure as hell just feel like shit Bittersweet, we shine and we fade I guess everything's going to kill you one day Bittersweet, you know what they say We shine and we fade, it's always the way Bittersweet, you know what they say I guess everything's going to kill you one day The doctor said, "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit Take medicine, you'll feel again", But I sure as hell just feel like shit He says, "It's probably all that drinking", and I say "Doc, you're overthinking, Why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?" (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again There are pieces of us strewn across your bedroom floor And there are pieces of me in a trail out your door Your sister's sad smile as I passed her on the front porch I got stuck in a downward spiral in a time when you needed more I said, "I'm sorry, you know" You said, "Get out, just go" And I went to pieces with you watching from your window I've got these loveless bones, now all I know is alone So I lit my final cigarette and I walked three postcodes home We shine and we fade We shine and we fade The doctor said, "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit Take medicine, you'll feel again", But I sure as hell just feel like shit He says, "It's probably all that drinking", and I say "Doc, you're overthinking, Why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?" Bittersweet, we shine and we fade I guess everything's going to kill you one day
