Bittersweetheart
Milestones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you broke down in tears
Saying "it was once I swear
In a game of truth and dare"
But you should go
Because darling I don't wanna know
A run down of the script
Like the scene you kissed with candy lips
You take take
You break break
You've got a good eye for the bad guys
It's come to light that I'm a game
A game you like to play
I cross my heart and I hope to die
Your pretty eyes made a good disguise
And if I could rewind the days
I'd be the one who got away
You're delusional
You're borderline criminal
The prisoner and thief
Robbed me of my dignity
And you...
You take take
You break break
You've got a good eye for the bad guys
It's come to light that I'm a game
A game you like to play
I cross my heart and I hope to die
Your pretty eyes made a good disguise
And if I could rewind the days
(Well I'd say, I'd say)
Bittersweet heart here's the bottom line
Your pretty little lies ain't no surprise
And if I could rewind the days
You'd be the one who got away
But I still sleep with demons
And they're running through my brain
Telling me that I'm to blame
And you said
Oh girl you promised
That you wouldn't be the same
But I'd be lying if I told you I'm okay
I cross my heart and I hope to die
Your pretty eyes made a good disguise
And if I could rewind the days
Well I'd say, I'd say
Bittersweet heart here's the bottom line
Your pretty little lies ain't no surprise
And if I could rewind the days
You'd be the one who got away
I got away, oh oh
The song "Bittersweetheart" by Milestones is a powerful anthem about falling for someone who is ultimately manipulative and deceitful. The lyrics tell the story of a broken relationship, with the singer trying to come to terms with their emotions and the pain caused by their partner's lies.
The first verse highlights the moment of realization when the partner breaks down and admits to playing a game of truth or dare with someone else. The singer is hurt and wants to distance themselves from the situation, not wanting to know any more about what happened. The chorus speaks to the partner's pattern of taking and breaking, while also recognizing that the singer had been fooled by their pretty lies.
The second verse delves deeper into the anger and betrayal felt by the singer. They call out their partner for being delusional and criminal, and for stealing their dignity. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the partner's behavior. The bridge adds another layer of complexity to the story, with the singer struggling to move on and still haunted by their demons. They reference their partner's promises and their own doubts about being okay after everything that happened.
Overall, "Bittersweetheart" is a well-crafted and emotionally charged song. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has gone through a painful breakup or dealt with a toxic relationship. The melody and instrumentation match the intense feelings being conveyed, driving the song forward and lending weight to the narrative.

You've got a good eye for the bad guys
You have the ability to identify people who have negative traits
It's come to light that I'm a game
It's been revealed that I am someone that you use and manipulate
A game you like to play
You enjoy manipulating and using me
I cross my heart and I hope to die
I swear honestly and sincerely
Your pretty eyes made a good disguise
Your beautiful eyes hid your true motives
And if I could rewind the days
If I had the chance to go back in time
I'd be the one who got away
I would have ended the relationship before getting hurt
You're delusional
You have a false belief about our relationship
You're borderline criminal
Your actions were almost illegal
The prisoner and thief
You have trapped and stolen from me
Robbed me of my dignity
You have taken away my self-respect and worth
And you...
And you continue to do so
But I still sleep with demons
I still have unresolved issues and negative thoughts
And they're running through my brain
They constantly haunt me
Telling me that I'm to blame
Blaming me for what happened
And you said
And you promised
Oh girl you promised
You promised me
That you wouldn't be the same
That you would change your behavior
But I'd be lying if I told you I'm okay
But I would be dishonest if I said I am fine
Bittersweet heart here's the bottom line
The final truth about our relationship
Your pretty little lies ain't no surprise
Your lies are not shocking anymore
You'd be the one who got away
You would be the one who lost, not me
I got away, oh oh
I am the one who emerged from the situation unscathed
