Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Dey lose control and I can’t help it
I fear for my sanity
Sometimes it gets lonely
I’m high on liquor cuz my heart is broken
I Dey talk to myself, but I know say I never crase
Oooooooooooo ooooo
I don’t wanna go home to empty spaces
I need a word, my reality check
Love is bitter
Bittersweet
Love is bitter
Bittersweet
Love is bitter
Bittersweet
Love is bitter
Bittersweet
This life I’m living is all I’ve worked for
Screaming fans, the biggest stage
Just one mistake and it all could disappear
Nobody go warn you
Nobody go tell you say
Fame is bitter
Bittersweet
Fame is bitter
Bittersweet
Fame is bitter
Bittersweet
Fame is bitter
Bittersweet
Hmmmm hmmmmm

Bitter sweet bittersweet
