Bittersweet
Boyò Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust
Tell me what you know about trust
When there's none left between us
Starting to feel dangerous

You say I've changed
But shit just ain't the same
Things aren't going the way
We planned and that is a shame
I'm moving my own way
Switching out this lane
You must have bumped your brain
To think that I stay up with your shit

When things always seem
To come crashing down
I stood beside you
Just to hold you down
Losing you was bittersweet
Might have lost you
But I found me
I found me
Losing you was
Bittersweet

Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
I found me
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I was a lil late)
Bitter bittersweet
(But it's ok)
I found me

You should me ashamed
For leading me this way
Going through my phone
My clothes
My things
You should know
By now
That old boy ain't no clown
(I ain't no clown baby)

When things always seem
To come crashing down
I stood beside you
Just to hold you down
Losing you was bittersweet
Might have lost you
But I found me
I found me
Losing you was
Bittersweet

Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
I found me
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I was a lil late)
Bitter bittersweet
(But it's ok)
I found me

It's bitter (Ooh)
It's bitter (Ooh)
Yea, its bitter for you
It's bitter (Ooh baby)
Cuz now I'm like
No no no
I used to say
Yes yes yes
But you fuck up with
The best best best
I ain't your baby

Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
I found me
Bitter bittersweet
(And I wanna find me)
Bitter bittersweet
(And I was a lil late)
Bitter bittersweet




(But it's ok)
I found me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bittersweet" by Boyò explore themes of trust, change, and self-discovery within a relationship that has turned toxic. The song starts by questioning the concept of trust and how it has been eroded between the two individuals involved. The singer feels that the situation has become dangerous and acknowledges that they have changed, but not in the same way the other person perceives. There is disappointment in the fact that things are not going as planned, but the singer decides to break away and move in their own direction.


The chorus brings out the conflicting emotions of losing the person they were with. It is described as bittersweet because, on one hand, they have lost the person, but on the other hand, they have found themselves. This realization is liberating, although still laced with emotions of bitterness.


In the second verse, the singer addresses the deceitful actions of the other person, checking their phone, going through their belongings, and invading their privacy. There is a call for the other person to be ashamed of leading them on this destructive path. The singer affirms their own worth and highlights that they are not to be taken lightly or underestimated.


The song is an anthem of self-empowerment and finding one's identity after a tumultuous relationship. It captures the conflicting emotions of letting go and growing stronger, and the bittersweetness of the journey.
