Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm under a spell with the way you make me feel
Everything I thought I am
Disappears when I see you
I think I'm falling in love
Am I out of mind
I've got it under control this time
It''s too late don't let me go
Is this when we say goodbye
Is this when we end everything
They say our love was just a lie
We're left with nothing
This moment we'll part forever
I can't leave you but I'll have to try
A bittersweet goodbye
Chasing a love that was forbidden
A guilty pleasure I'd want again
Secretly we'd be together
All I need is one glimpse of you
I think I'm losing this fight
Now you're gone who am I
I can't control it this time
It's too late don't let me go
Cause I know I'll have to say goodbye
Is this when we say goodbye
Is this when we end everything
They say our love was just a lie
We're left with nothing
This moment we'll part forever
I can't leave you but I'll have to try
A bittersweet goodbye
All I have to do is bite into that apple
Take one bite
Take one bite
This is forbidden love
I'm losing this fight
Is this when we say goodbye
Is this when we end everything
They say our love was just a lie
We're left with nothing
This moment we'll part forever
I can't leave you but I'll have to try
A bittersweet goodbye
Is this when we say goodbye
Is this when we end everything
They say our love was just a lie
We're left with nothing
This moment we'll part forever
I can't leave you but I'll have to try
A bittersweet goodbye
The song "Bittersweet" by Sophie Aboud tells the story of a forbidden love that is coming to an end. The lyrics describe the feeling of being under a spell and losing oneself when near the person they love. Despite knowing that the relationship is forbidden and must come to an end, the singer is unable to control their feelings and is reluctant to say goodbye.
The first stanza highlights the intense emotions that the singer feels when in the presence of their forbidden love. They feel as though they are in a dream and that everything about them disappears when they are with this person. The line "I think I'm falling in love" encapsulates the confusion and the struggle that the singer experiences, knowing that the relationship cannot continue. The second stanza focuses on the inevitability of the end of the relationship. The singer recognizes that they will be forced to part ways and says, "Is this when we say goodbye? Is this when we end everything?" The line "A bittersweet goodbye" perfectly captures the conflicting emotions that the singer is feeling – they don't want to say goodbye, but they know that they must.
The third stanza speaks to the forbidden nature of the love affair. It highlights the guilt and the secrecy that characterizes the relationship, and how the singer feels they are losing the fight to stay with their lover. The refrain "Is this when we say goodbye?" repeats multiple times throughout the song, reinforcing the idea that the end of the relationship is imminent, but still difficult to accept.
Overall, "Bittersweet" is an emotionally charged song about forbidden love that must come to an end. The lyrics perfectly capture the confusing mix of emotions that the singer feels – the desire to be with their lover coupled with the knowledge that it's time to let go.
