It’s too dark
It looks to bleak to embark
On this bridge that’s burning down
And descending to the ocean
It’s been too long
No, it’s been too short
He feels torn again
Maybe she feels born again
And everyone grasps at straws
And as the sun goes down we close our eyes
‘Till all we become are powerless minds
Bittersweet…
These bittersweet goodbyes
It’s all her fault
No, no, it’s all his
She’s all he knows and he’s all she is
This family tree comes crashing down
Branches addled and broken
Open eyes in a field of greener grass
But this flag in the distance flies permanently at half mast
And the bigger you laughed the harder you cried
The bride, the groom
The mom, the dad
Roof overhead and the essence of the past
These bittersweet…
These bittersweet goodbyes
Sometimes a little sweeter than bitter
Sometimes a little more bitter than sweet
Between dust and glitter
Like a rich man begging on the street
You want to see a smile
You want them together
You want to touch her face
You want the past forever
Goodbye…
If only I could fly...
If only you could have loved her the way she wanted you to
You would have… would have… would have… would have
Bittersweet…
These bittersweet goodbyes
But we’ll all be fine.
