PRE-CHORUS ::
Can you taste it? Can you taste it!? CAN YOU TASTE IT!?!?
THIS IS BITTERSWEET!

CHORUS ::
Tear me up inside! Treat me like the ones who hurt you!
THIS IS BITTERSWEET!
Never again! Will I ever trust your word!
THIS IS BITTERSWEET!
Clever deceiver! Leading me on like you did, then rejecting my every effort!
IS THIS BITTERSWEET?
Was this love ever sweet?"

VERSES 1, 2, & 3 ::
Tear me up inside, like you always do with your sweet demeanor. Unknown to me, this is the last time. Your intentions seemed clear, you shared your heart. Or was it false emotion?

Do you really see him in me!? Now the trust we had is gone. Everything you said is a lie, should I have expected this from you? Take my gift and burn it. I'm burning. Slow burning. You were the only one who ever listened.

The hardest part of this is knowing I lost what I convinced was love. I'm not bitter. Four later and still alone. My intentions were pure. Who can know yours.

LOW OUTRO CHORUS:
Now you tear me up inside. Accusing me, just as the one who hurt you. Never again will I ever trust your word. What is real? False portrayals and misguided intentions. Know that we were never sweet."
