Only Bitterness Remains
Lovers and Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I'd feel this way
I can't breathe my heart is breaking
I never thought I'd see the day
Now that sweet has turned to sour
Instead of turning into gold
All my tears have washed away
Now only bitterness remains
All of the lies you've been faking
I'm on to all the games you play
This is a mess in the making
I should have known to turn away
From kisses that quickly turn to poison
Instead of turning into gold
We lost something to behold
All my tears have washed away
Now only bitterness remains
There's nowhere to run to
The life that I wanted seems so far
It's not that I don't love you
It's just that I don't know you anymore
Instead of turning into gold
We lost something to behold
All my tears have washed away
Now only bitterness remains
Instead of turning into gold
We lost something to behold
All my tears have washed away
Now only bitterness remains
Now only bitterness remains
Only bitterness remains
The song "Only Bitterness Remains" by Lovers and Poets is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a failed relationship. The singer expresses disbelief and heartache at the fact that they never thought they would feel this way, and that they never thought they would see the day when everything fell apart. The sweetness of the relationship has turned to bitterness, and the singer's heart is breaking. They feel like they have lost something special and that all of their tears have been for nothing.
The second verse is about the lies and deception that have led to the unraveling of the relationship. The singer is no longer blind to the games and the poison that have been present in the relationship all along, and they realize that it's too late to turn back. They feel trapped and unable to escape the mess that has been created.
The chorus repeats the idea that instead of turning into something beautiful and valuable, the relationship has been reduced to bitterness. There is no escape and no going back, and the singer is left to grapple with the loss of something that was once precious to them.
Overall, "Only Bitterness Remains" is a poignant examination of the emotional pain that comes with the end of a relationship. It captures the sadness, anger, and sense of hopelessness that many people feel when faced with the failure of something that was once so important to them.

I can't believe what I'm saying
I'm in disbelief about the words leaving my mouth
I never thought I'd feel this way
I didn't imagine experiencing these emotions
I can't breathe my heart is breaking
My chest is tight and my heart hurts
I never thought I'd see the day
I never anticipated this day coming
Now that sweet has turned to sour
Something that was once good has now become bad
Instead of turning into gold
What was supposed to be valuable has become worthless
We lost something to behold
We lost something worth keeping
All my tears have washed away
I've cried so much that I don't have any tears left
Now only bitterness remains
All that's left is a negative feeling
All of the lies you've been faking
I know you've been lying the whole time
I'm on to all the games you play
I know all the tricks you use to manipulate me
This is a mess in the making
This situation is going to get worse
I should have known to turn away
I should have avoided this from the beginning
From kisses that quickly turn to poison
Affection that becomes harmful
There's nowhere to run to
There's no escape from this situation
The life that I wanted seems so far
The life I dreamed of feels unattainable
It's not that I don't love you
I still care about you
It's just that I don't know you anymore
You've become a stranger to me
