Bitter Sweet Lyrics

I gave you back your ring

A long, long time ago

Since then I have never once looked back

And for a million reasons I have thanked my lucky stars for that

How many nights have come and gone

Without you dancing on

My mind

But I saw you on the street today

You didn't even know

Just like lightning something struck my heart

Now I just can't let it go

Your name is on my tongue now

It tastes so bitter sweet

I can still feel your fingers on my skin

In the dark and in the heat

I can still hear your heart beat in your chest

Now I wish that it was mine

Why are these memories washing over me now

After all this time

I was doing fine

When I left and moved back home

Didn't take our photographs

I burned them all up with a silver lighter

In an old aluminum trash can

I let that chapter burn

Never to return

But those images are burned behind my eyes

And on my soul

Blinding me from all the truths

That I'm Pretending not to know

And I just can't let it go

Your name is on my tongue now

It tastes so bitter sweet

I can still feel your fingers on my skin

In the dark and in the heat

I can still hear your heart beat in your chest

Now I wish that it was mine

Why are these memories washing over me now

After all this time

I was doing fine

Oh now time

Is such a funny little thing

But I'm not laughing at the jokes it plays on me

It seems fate is just putting me on

First I see you in a crowded place

Now I just can't move on

Now I'm always dreaming of your love

I just can't move on
