Juan C. Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beautiful and bittersweet, you beautiful and bittersweet)
Kids out of order got no time to play
That's why we fight and make up in a day
Oh, it's kinda strange, in a way
The two of us grew up in this little town
Staying out late with no parents around
Love, we got that kind of love
The one that cuts you deep
Torn between the beautiful and bittersweet
Love, we got that kind of love
The one that cuts you deep
Torn between the beautiful and bittersweet
System overload my brain
Just to take that pain away, oh, oh-oh
It's okay, there's no shame
Flowers made me think of you
Buy me roses black and blue, oh, oh-oh
There's no escape from you, ooh
Love, we got that kind of love
The one that cuts you deep
Torn between the beautiful and bittersweet
Why? keep asking myself why
Why did we have to meet?
Dangerously beautiful and bittersweet
Beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) you beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) you beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) beautiful and bittersweet
Yeah, there's nobody else, look, appreciate your help (beautiful and bittersweet)
Love, we got that kind of love (you know)
The one that cuts you deep
Torn between the beautiful and bittersweet (oh-oh, oh)
Love, we got that kind of love
The one that cuts you deep
Torn between the beautiful and bittersweet
Why? Keep asking myself why (why)
Why did we have to meet?
Dangerously beautiful and bittersweet
Beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) you beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) beautiful and bittersweet
Beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) you beautiful and bittersweet
(Aah, ah) beautiful and bittersweet
