Bittersweet
Michael Calfan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I′m here with somebody, new with somebody
One less lonely with two
So now I'm here with somebody, new with somebody
Still my eyes drawn to you

Staring down my heart from the corner of the room
See a thousand burned up stars in these lonely eyes of you
I don′t know if you know there's no room
For another you, for another you

Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet?
Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery?
Oh, my heart was out, I'm biting, biting, biting down my teeth
Why are you so bitter-bitter-bittersweet?

Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet?
Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery?
Oh, my heart was out, I′m biting, biting, biting down my teeth
Why are you so bitter-bitter-bittersweet?

Now I′m here with your body
Still drawing circles like we used to do
And I'm laughing through the tears
You don′t realise it, do you?

Staring down my heart from the corner of the room
See a thousand burned up stars in these lonely eyes of you
I don't think you know but there′s still room
In my heart for you, for you

Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet?
Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery?
Oh, my heart was out, I'm biting, biting, biting down my teeth
Why are you so bitter-bitter-bittersweet?

Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet?
Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery?
Oh, my heart was out, I′m biting, biting, biting down my teeth
Why are you so bitter-bitter-bittersweet?

Now I'm here with you, you, you
Now I'm here with you, you, you




Now I′m here with you, you, you
Now I′m here with you, you, you, you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bittersweet" by Michael Calfan describe the feeling of being torn between two lovers. The singer is with somebody new, but their eyes are still drawn to the person they were with before. Despite trying to move on, the memories and feelings for the previous lover linger on. The chorus repeatedly asks why the past lover is so "bitter-bittersweet", acknowledging their role in causing heartache and misery, yet still longing for them. The second verse highlights the difficulty of letting go when the singer is still spending time with the previous lover, drawing circles just like they used to. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they are now with the past lover, and they are in this cycle of "bittersweet" emotions and feelings.


Line by Line Meaning

Now I′m here with somebody, new with somebody
I am currently with a new person


One less lonely with two
Being with the new person has made me feel less alone


Still my eyes drawn to you
Despite being with someone else, my attention is still drawn to you


Staring down my heart from the corner of the room
I am watching my own emotions from a distance


See a thousand burned up stars in these lonely eyes of you
I see the sadness and pain in your eyes


I don′t know if you know there's no room
I don't think you realize that I have moved on


For another you, for another you
I am not looking for another version of you


Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet?
I am experiencing mixed emotions about you


Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery?
You are the cause of my emotional pain


Oh, my heart was out, I'm biting, biting, biting down my teeth
I am trying to control my emotions


Now I′m here with your body
I am physically with you


Still drawing circles like we used to do
We are still repeating the same patterns we used to follow


And I'm laughing through the tears
I am masking my pain with humor


You don′t realise it, do you?
You don't understand how much you still mean to me


I don't think you know but there′s still room
I don't think you realize that there is still space in my heart for you


In my heart for you, for you
I still have feelings for you


Now I'm here with you, you, you
I am with you in the present moment


Now I′m here with you, you, you
I am currently with you


Now I′m here with you, you, you
I am here with the person I have feelings for


Now I′m here with you, you, you, you
I am fully invested in being with you

Now I'm here with somebody, new with somebody
One less lonely with two
So now I'm here with somebody, new with somebody
Still my eyes drawn to you

Staring down my heart from the corner of the room
See a thousand burned up stars in these lonely eyes of you
I don't know if you know there's no room
For another you, for another you


Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet
Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery
Oh, my heart was out, I'm biting, biting, biting down my teeth
Why are you so bitter-bitter-bittersweet

Now I'm here with your body
Still drawing circles like we used to do
And I'm laughing through the tears
You don't realise it, do you?

Staring down my heart from the corner of the room
See a thousand burned up stars in these lonely eyes of you
I don't think you know but there's still room
In my heart for you, for you

Why are you so bitter-bitter-bitter-bittersweet
Do you know you are the reason of my mise-misery
Oh, my heart was out, I'm biting, biting, biting down my teeth
Why are you so bitter-bitter-bittersweet
[2x]
