Bittersweet

Bittersweet is that sour taste in your mouth
When your emotions run dry
And your words have run out

Knowing what's done is done
That there's nothing to do
It's time to move on

Bittersweet is that aching you feel
When dream becomes reality
But the truth isn't real

Seeing those signs that destroy
Goodbye, one I loved
Tearing each girl and boy

Bittersweet, the nostalgic memories
That live in the back of your mind
Being tossed by the seas

Realizing you're finally alone
Unsure of where to go
Because you lost what was best known

But bittersweet isn't all bitter
For the sweet is still there
Hidden in the discouraging litter

Bringing sunshine to life
And warming the heart
Knowing you did something right

The sweet is the trembling happiness felt
When you strengthen your mind
And your heart never melts

Yes, saying goodbye now
Will lead to things greater
And brighter around

Bittersweet is corse
But it's also freeing
For better or worse

You just have to let go
So you can start seeing
And finally believing

It's for the better.
