Bittersweet
Amanda Fagan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won
I have everything that I want
Why am I not satisfied?
You're gone
Thought I wanted this all along
But I would be lying
If I didn't admit
There was a part of me
That still remembers
We were once friends
I called you my enemy
But you kept me company
You believed in me 'til the end

It's bittersweet
That's the only way I can describe this feeling
Bittersweet
Bittersweet

To my old home
I've returned, tell myself
You got what you deserved
Why don't I feel satisfied?
I thought I would feel pride
But I cannot lie
I hate this place
I hate this room
Burn the memories of the life I knew

There's a part of me
That still remembers we
Once were friends
I called you my enemy
But you kept me company
You believed in me 'til the end

It's bittersweet
That's the only way I can describe this feeling
Bittersweet
Bittersweet

Watch the embers turn to flames
Who would've know it'd end this way?
I couldn't help but feel betrayed
I had to go and cast the blame
All of my actions were in vain
What was I trying to attain?
I thought I hated you
But a part of me says that's not true

Yeah, there's a part of me
That still remembers we
Once were friends
I called you my enemy
But you kept me company
You believed in me 'til the end

It's bittersweet
That's the only way I can describe this feeling
Bittersweet (bittersweet)
Bittersweet

Yeah, there's a part of me (bittersweet)
That still remembers we
Once were friends (bittersweet)
I call you my enemy (bittersweet)




But you kept me company
You believed in me 'til the end (bittersweet)
