Bittersweet
Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You turn me off at the push of a button
And you pretend that I don't mean nothing
I'm not a saint, that's easy to tell
But guess what honey? you ain't no angel
You like to scream use words as a weapon
Well go ahead take your best shot woman
I wanna leave you, it's easy to see
But guess what honey it's not that easy

We get so complicated (complicated)
This finger's for our memories

So rip my pictures from your wall
Tear them down, and burn them all
Light the fire and walk away
There's nothing left to say, so
Take the ashes from the floor
Bury them to just make sure
That nothing more is left of me
Just bittersweet memories

I wanna run and escape from your prison,
But when I leave I feel something is missing.
I'm not afraid that's easy to tell,
This can't be heaven,
It feels like I'm in hell.
You're like a drug that I can't stop taking,
I want more and I can't stop craving.
I still want you it's easy to see,
But guess what honey?
You're not that good for me.

We get so complicated (complicated),
This finger's for our memories.

So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down, and burn them all.
Light the fire and walk away,
There's nothing left to say, so,
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure,
That nothing more is left of me,
Just bittersweet memories.

Just bittersweet memories.

We get so complicated (complicated),
This finger's for our memories.

We get so complicated.

So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down, and burn them all.
Light the fire and walk away,
There's nothing left to say, so,
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure,
That nothing more is left of me,
Just bittersweet memories.





There's nothing left to say.
There's nothing left to say.

Overall Meaning

Valentineโ€™s song "Bittersweet" is about a relationship that has become complicated, where the couple argues and fights constantly. The lyrics depict a scenario where the singer wants to leave the relationship, but the person keeps coming back because itโ€™s difficult to break this cycle of hurt and emotions. The song conveys the feeling of wanting to escape a tumultuous relationship by highlighting the complexities and difficulties of breaking up.


The opening lines express the singer's frustration over the way their partner treats them. They feel used and disregarded, and their partner's actions make them want to leave the relationship. The partner's childish behavior and using words as weapons drive the singer insane. However, leaving turns out to be a difficult decision, as the singer finds themselves coming back to the relationship despite the constant arguments, fights, and disappointments. The line, "You're like a drug that I can't stop taking, I want more and I can't stop craving" perfectly captures how the singer is addicted to the person and the relationship.


The chorus builds up the idea of letting go of the past by ripping the pictures off the wall, tearing them down, and burning them. It signifies that the singer is ready to move on and let go of all the emotions tied to the past relationship. The final lines, "There's nothing left to say," imply that the singer wants to end the relationship without causing any more trouble and that they need to move on to a better future.


Line by Line Meaning

You turn me off at the push of a button
You have the power to switch off your feelings towards me abruptly


And you pretend that I don't mean nothing
You act like I don't matter to you


I'm not a saint, that's easy to tell
I'm not perfect, it's clear to see


But guess what honey? you ain't no angel
You're not perfect either, sweetheart


You like to scream use words as a weapon
You enjoy yelling and verbally attacking me


Well go ahead take your best shot woman
Feel free to do your worst, lady


I wanna leave you, it's easy to see
I want to end this relationship, it's obvious


But guess what honey it's not that easy
But leaving you is not as simple as it seems


We get so complicated (complicated)
Our relationship is becoming too convoluted


This finger's for our memories
This finger is a gesture towards the memories we shared


So rip my pictures from your wall
Destroy the photographs of us on your wall


Tear them down, and burn them all
Rip them apart and burn them until there's nothing left


Light the fire and walk away
Set everything ablaze and leave the memories behind


There's nothing left to say, so
There's no need to speak anymore


Take the ashes from the floor
Gather the remains from the ground


Bury them to just make sure
Bury everything to ensure no memories remain


That nothing more is left of me
That there's no trace of me left behind


Just bittersweet memories
Only memories that are both happy and sad remain


I wanna run and escape from your prison,
I want to break free from this relationship that feels like a prison


But when I leave I feel something is missing.
But when I'm away from you, I feel like something's absent


I'm not afraid that's easy to tell,
I'm not scared, it's simple to see


This can't be heaven,
This cannot be an ideal situation


It feels like I'm in hell.
It feels like I'm in a terrible place


You're like a drug that I can't stop taking,
You're addictive, I can't resist you


I want more and I can't stop craving.
I want more of you, I can't control my desire for you


I still want you it's easy to see,
It's clear to see that I still desire you


But guess what honey?
But the fact is, my dear...


You're not that good for me.
You're not healthy for me or our relationship


There's nothing left to say.
There's nothing more to discuss


There's nothing left to say.
There's nothing more to communicate
