I owe it all to you
It happened overnight
And it's never been the same
From the moment you arrived

Not just anyone would do
I was holdin' out for you
'Cause I thought you were the cure
But now, but now I'm not so sure

How could you be so bittersweet?
Bittersweet

Agree or disagree
Just tell me if I'm wrong
It was always up to you
You knew it all along

I could really feel the sting
But you didn't feel a thing
I can take it like a man
And try, and try to understand

How could you be so bittersweet?
Bittersweet

A hot pursuit, forbidden fruit
I'm diggin' deep
Reveal yourself to me

How could you be so bittersweet?
Bittersweet

Waitin' for the sign
To leave this all behind
I was lookin' for a clue
For a miracle or two

Not just anyone would do
I was holdin' out for you
'Cause I thought you were the cure
But now, but now I'm not so sure

How could you be so bittersweet?
Bittersweet
