Description
Somewhere between hurt and freedom, there is a state called bittersweet - when your heart seems whole, but with the taste of a lemon seed. It seems like everything is over, and you can breathe a sigh of relief, but in your chest, there is still an echo of what could have been. The voice is calm, but not indifferent - there is no anger in it, just neatly packaged pain that has learned not to spill out.
No one is looking for someone to blame here. They simply accept that love is not always honest, and not everyone has the courage to look into the eyes. But they have the strength not to lie to themselves. And in this lies a quiet victory: choosing yourself, even if it meant going through whispers of resentment, sleepless nights, and the final “you do.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
Can't believe it ends this way, thought you'd always stay
Now I gotta wonder what I changed
Think I have to go, walkin' all alone
Hate to see it all go down the drain
Wanted to be with you, wanted to make it through, but did you?
I swear I knew
Now that it's over, you blame it all on me
I know I should be bitter, but baby, right now I'm bittersweet
I'm gettin' over what you put me through
And I'd say I'm done cryin', but baby, I don't lie like you do (ha, ha)
You do (ha, ha), you do (ha, ha)
Right now I'm bittersweet (ha, ha)
Ooh (ha, ha), mm (ha, ha)
Right now I'm bittersweet
One day I'll wake up sad, but go to bed so glad
Knowin' you know what you could've had
Now I'm choosin' me, it wasn't so easy
God forbid forever on my knees
Know you want make it right, can't look me in the eyes
Good for you
I always think I knew
Now that it's over, you blame it all on me
I know I should be bitter, but baby, right now I'm bittersweet
I'm gettin' over what you put me through
And I'd say I'm done cryin', but baby, I don't lie like you do (ha, ha)
You do (ha, ha), you do (ha, ha)
Right now I'm bittersweet (ha, ha)
Ooh (ha, ha), mm (oh)
Right now I'm bittersweet
I lay awake thinkin', "How did I let you go?"
Gettin' away unscathed for so damn long
I got away, took my time, I'm okay alone
And you stay knowin' you forever know how hard I tried
With you, oh
Now that it's over, you blame it all on me
I know I should be bitter, but baby, right now I'm bittersweet
I'm gettin' over what you put me through
And I'd say I'm done cryin', but baby, I don't lie like you do
You do (ha, ha), you do (ha, ha)
Right now I'm bittersweet (ha, ha)
Ooh (ha, ha), mm (ooh)
Right now I'm bittersweet
