Bittersweet Lyrics

My life for awhile was a party, but then I finally came around
Once again I began to start in to get my feet on solid ground
Cause living with some fallen angel was like to burn me down
To where I can see that love is bittersweet, oh, oh, bittersweet

I feel like a fool for believin' that I could run on shaky ground
With all the tracks I was leavin' I left a trail more lost than found
Nobody said love was easy and I know it's cold and hot

Believe it or not it taste bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet

Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
You say you love her, you love her not

You win, I lose, I give, you take, finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet

Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
She says she loves you, she loves you not

She wins, you lose, I give, she takes,
But finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love

Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet

Backslider's Wine

My life for awhile was a party, but then I finally came around
Once again I began to start in to get my feet on solid ground
Cause living with some fallen angel was like to burn me down
To where I can see that love is bittersweet, oh, oh, bittersweet

I feel like a fool for believin' that I could run on shaky ground
With all the tracks I was leavin' I left a trail more lost than found
Nobody said love was easy and I know it's cold and hot

Believe it or not it taste bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet

Bittersweet romance, cold and hot, 
You say you love her, you love her not

You win, I lose, I give, you take, finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet

Bittersweet romance, cold and hot,
She says she loves you, she loves you not

She wins, you lose, I give, she takes, 
But finally it gets down to be a place
Where love can taste so bittersweet

Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love

Oh, oh bittersweet
Oh, oh bittersweet love
Oh, oh bittersweet

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
