Bittersweet Love

It's not easy to love you
And trying is never enough for you
Every dirty word means truth
Every little stain is a lie

It's always easy to escape
And sometimes there's no escape
Every day I wish you'd go
Every day I watch you go

The devil inside our souls
Swallow all the pain and winter
The tears mean nothing now
I need you to feel alone and bitter

It's not hard to fuck it up
And it's really common to fuck it up
Every scream is silence
Every sigh is a shout, aloud

And all the sad songs you can sing
Find their special, unique way to end
In the middle you can find a sign
But don't let it be your only guide

And you're bleak and kind and blind
You've still got a thousand letters
Hanging from your lonely nightstand
But don't let that take your holy hands

Cause the devil inside our souls
Swallow all the pain and winter
The tears mean nothing now
I need you to feel alone and bitter

I need you to feel alone and bitter
