A little light looks through her bedroom window
She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems
Brighter meadows, melting sunsets her hair blowing in the breeze
She can't see me watching It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender Said, "I'm older now" I work in the city we live together
But it's different than my dream
Morning light fills the room I rise and she pretends she's sleeping
Are we everything we wanted? It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender I said, I know we don't talk about it
We don't tell each other all the little things we need
We work our way around each other
As we tremble and we, as we tremble and we bleed
As we tremble and we, as we tremble and we bleed It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender It's bittersweet more sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender
