Bitter Love
Pia Mia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need somebody to pull me away from this bitter love
The taste on my lips every time that we kiss, I can't get enough
Heaven knows that I've tried
But I never can seem to give you up
Guess I'm out of my mind
So go 'head and pour me another one

Got me singing oh, oh

I wanna run
But baby, I drink you up
'Cause I need it, want it
Can't get enough of this bitter love
I'm paralyzed
You give me the sweetest high
'Cause I need it, want it
Can't get enough of this bitter love

You got me wasted and boy, I've been chasin' you every night
Roses and wine and your body on mine got me feelin' right
Got that magic in you
And you've been possessin' my peace of mind
I don't know what to do
I can't get away even when I try

Got me singing oh, oh

I wanna run
But baby, I drink you up
'Cause I need it, want it
Can't get enough of this bitter love
I'm paralyzed
You give me the sweetest high
'Cause I need it, want it
Can't get enough of this bitter love

Feel it burnin' my veins
Lovin' you through the pain
Baby, I think that I'm goin' a little insane, oh (goin' insane)
'Cause I can't get enough, you're all that I want
And you know I need your bitter love, hey
Baby

I wanna run (Baby)
But baby, I drink you up
'Cause I need it, want it
Can't get enough of this bitter love
I'm paralyzed
You give me the sweetest high




'Cause I need it, want it
Can't get enough of this bitter love, oh, oh
