Bittersweet
Music Maverick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes my heart beat like a drum
See the panic in my eyes
Kiss me only when I cry
Cause you always want what you′re running from
And you know this is more than you can take
When the morning breaks us
Baby please don′t look away
When the morning breaks us
Oh your touch, so bittersweet (Aahhh ah aaha)
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Your cheek is softly by the sun
Makes my heart beat like a drum
I know it hurts you
I know it burns you
Hot and cold in a lonely hotel room
Look into me, tell me why you're crying
I need to know
Cause you always want what you′re running from
It′s always been that way (oooohh)
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Baby please don′t look away
When the morning breaks us
Oh your touch, so bittersweet (Aahhh ah aaha)
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Cause you always want what you′re running from
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
Baby please don′t look away
When the morning breaks us
Oh your touch, so bittersweet (Aahhh ah aaha)
Baby don't forget my name
When the morning breaks us
In Music Maverick's song "Bittersweet," the lyrics depict a tumultuous relationship between two people who are deeply in love but are also constantly running away from each other. The first two lines, "Your arms around me come undone, Makes my heart beat like a drum" suggest that the singer is initially enjoying the warmth and intimacy of their partner but also acknowledges the fragility of the moment. The next two lines, "See the panic in my eyes, Kiss me only when I cry," indicate that the singer is experiencing conflicting emotions, and their partner can only comfort them when the emotions become too overwhelming.
The next few lines, "Cause you always want what you're running from, And you know this is more than you can take," highlight the cyclical nature of their relationship, where both individuals continuously seek to distance themselves from each other, but their attraction pulls them back. The chorus, "Baby don't forget my name, When the morning breaks us, Baby please don't look away, When the morning breaks us, Oh, your touch, so bittersweet," further reinforces their emotional turmoil, as the singer is afraid of being forgotten when the intense emotions fade away.
The bridge, "I know it hurts you, I know it burns you, Hot and cold in a lonely hotel room, Look into me, tell me why you're crying, I need to know" depicts a moment of vulnerability and openness in their relationship, where both individuals are forced to confront their fears and acknowledge the pain they've caused each other. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reminding us that even though their relationship is complex and emotionally turbulent, their love for each other is intense and cannot be ignored.
