Bittersweet

This might be the song that
Turns your hardened heart to ash
The words that burn before you
Ever swallow your painful past

You left a broken song and a hanging chord
Like a heart without a beat
But that best love’s bittersweet

Lullabies and melodies
Echo in the halls of my defeat

This might be the song that
Turns your burdened heart to gold
Something like the way it should be
When we don’t leave words untold

When I close my eyes, that golden heart
Has the song that sets me free
It’s a failure as you see

Cause you would rather play pretend
Cause you fear all you know that you might be

I bite back words, that I can’t get right
And will never have a tune
Cause that part’s saved for you

Musician’s soul, and rock and roll
With hands that’d pull the passion of me
Of course passion’s bittersweet

This might be the song that
Turns your burdened heart to black
The timing eats you up for
All the things you think you lack

What we didn’t start, can’t even end
So why silent retreat?
You know that best love’s bittersweet

This might be the song that
I title bittersweet
