Bittersweet Lyrics

Bittersweet

Life is always something

Bittersweet

Though we tell ourselves

It's one thing or the other

Well listen to me brother

Life was never meant to be

Just wedding receptions

Or funeral processions

You see

Bittersweet

Hard to face the fact that

Life's no treat

So we tell ourselves

That soon it will stop raining

That full moon won't be waning

But life was never meant to be

Just tropical blue oceans

Or nuclear explosions

You see

Guess this paradox is here to stay

How to make it through the day

Just maintain your equilibrium

Go with the flow

Go with the flow

Guess this paradox is here to stay

How to make it through the day

Just maintain your equilibrium

Go with the flow

Go with the flow

Bittersweet

Much more easy to feel

Life is sweet

So we kid ourselves

When we're feeling lucky

That everything is ducky

But life was never meant to be

Just chocolate confections

Or lovers' rejections

Happy children playing

While parents are straying

You think you'll meet the deadline

But suddenly there's no time

You see
