Bittersweet, you gon’ be the death of me
I don’t wantchu, but I needju
I love you and hatechu at the very same time
See what I want so much, should never hurt this bad
Never did this before, that’s what the virgin says
We been generally warned, that’s what the surgeon says
God talk to me now, this is an emergency
 
And he claims he only gamed me to fuckin use my body
So I cutchu deep enough to reach a fatality  
 
I heal scars thatchu give me burnin through your currency  
Your intentions seemed true, but the joke is on me  
 
Make promises again, I letchu in again  
But they don’t work no more, since you can’t come through with them.  
 
Have you ever feltchu deserve betta  
Butchu stuck with this fool drunk off tequila  
And he mixed in some dumbass advice to worsen a horrible night
He sparked a fiery fight and he talking about my family, my aunts and shit  
So my anger say, muhhh fucka yo mama’s a bitch, you know  
 
Constant drama and shiii, you never hit me before  
Butchu batter me verbally, callin me an unworthy whore  
Frontin like you this big man, when you justa boy runnin a scam
Oh I guess I figure it’s  
 
Bittersweet, you gon’ be the death of me
I don’t wantchu, but I needju
I love you and hatechu at the very same time
See what I want so much, should never hurt this bad
Never did this before, that’s what the virgin says
We been generally warned, that’s what the surgeon says
God talk to me now, this is an emergency
 
You with your niggas every night while I’m your last priority  
Give full attention to her ass butchu look right through me  
 
I been thinking then the clarity started sinkin in  
This relationship stressing me so God’s gift I stay wrappin in  
These Swisher Sweets are gunna be the death of me  
 
And I always thought havin your child would make me feel complete  
But when you inside me I feel even more empty  
Forced to fill your half truths with insecurities  
 
Tell me. Are you fuckin them girls, disrespecting me?
You don’t see how your lies is affectin me,
You don’t see how our life was supposed to be
And I never let a nigga get that close to me
And you ain’t cracked up to whatchu was supposed to be
You always gone, you always be where them hoes would be
And he wonda why erry night I cry myself to sleep  
Loving him really fucked with me  
Now its just bittersweet poetry
