Bittersweet
Paolo Meep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sadly this time you're nowhere near to make it better
My biggest fear is how people tend to disappear
Now I'm dodging raindrops the same way I'm dodging tears
So I try my hardest not to get attached
I'm tired of these relationships that never last
An everlasting rose is what I saw you as
Guess I didn't really feel the thorns when we were holding hands
It's been a while since I was happy so I didn't notice
I'm dying inside I never show it
And my phone is always ringing but your name is never on it
No more missed calls or messages
Picking up the broken pieces fixing what is left of this
The only thing that's left of us
Memories that fade away to nothing losing relevance
Oh boy you don't even know
How much I've been missing you so
Oh boy you don't even know
How much I've been missing you so
I'll sing this lullaby
And maybe one day see those eyes again
And when you're away all I think about is you
And love felt so fake until I knew
You existed
How could I have missed it
Oh boy you don't even know
How much I've been missing you so
Oh boy you don't even know
How much I've been missing you so
