Bittersweet - Foxblood

We spent the night outside on the porch drinking gin in the house on the coast

as the storm rolled in

My regrets, where to begin?

It’s coming back to me, it’s coming round again

Your dark hair and your pale skin, and all the goddamn times I never let you in,

shit

I swear to god I wish I told you everything

It’s coming back to me, it’s coming round again

We’re hopeless again (X2)

Bittersweet, you know what they say

We shine and we fade, it’s always the way

Bittersweet, you know what they say

I guess everything’s going to kill you one day

The doctor said «Your head’s a mess, you’ve come apart bit by bit

Take medicine, you’ll feel again», but I sure as hell just feel like shit

Bittersweet, we shine and we fade

I guess everything’s going to kill you one day

Bittersweet, you know what they say

We shine and we fade, it’s always the way

Bittersweet, you know what they say

I guess everything’s going to kill you one day

The doctor said «Your head’s a mess, you’ve come apart bit by bit

Take medicine, you’ll feel again», but I sure as hell just feel like shit

He says «It's probably all that drinking», and I say

«Doc, you’re overthinking, why would I interfere with a process that’s keeping

me from sinking?»

(We shine and we fade) It’s coming back to me, it’s coming round again (x4)

There are pieces of us strewn across your bedroom floor

And there are pieces of me in a trail out your door

Your sister’s sad smile as I passed her on the front porch

I got stuck in a downward spiral in a time when you needed more

I said «I'm sorry, you know' You said «Get out, just go»

And I went to pieces with you watching from your window

I’ve got these loveless bones, now all I know is alone

So I lit my final cigarette and I walked three postcodes home

We shine and we fade (x2)

The doctor said «Your head’s a mess, you’ve come apart bit by bit

Take medicine, you’ll feel again», but I sure as hell just feel like shit

He says «It's probably all that drinking», and I say

«Doc, you’re overthinking, why would I interfere with a process that’s keeping

me from sinking?»

Bittersweet, we shine and we fade

I guess everything’s going to kill you one day
