Sweet, sweet bitter love
|
The taste still lingers
|
Go through my helpless fingers
|
You slipped away
|
|
Sweet, sweet bitter love
|
What joy you brought me
|
And what pain you taught me
|
I'm so sure I'll stay
|
|
And my magic dreams
|
Have lost their spell
|
Where there was hope
|
There's just an empty shell
|
|
Sweet, sweet bitter love
|
Why have you awakened
|
And then forsakened
|
A trusting heart like mine?
|
|
My magic dreams
|
Have lost their spell
|
And where there was hope
|
There's just an empty shell
|
|
Sweet, sweet bitter love
|
What joy, what joy you brought me
|
And what pain you taught me
|
I'm so sure to stay
|
|
Sweet bitter love
|
Why, why have you awakened
|
And then forsakened
|
A trusting heart, a trusting heart like mine?
