Bitter Water - The Oh Hellos

Bitter Water Lyrics

Verse 1:
Oh fair and flighty love,
My aerolight above,
The only dove I see.Could you love me more,
If by the sun and moon I swore,
That i would never flee?Pre Chorus:
Well i still taste you on my lips.
Lovely, bitter water.
The terrible fire of my old regret,
Is honey on my tongueChorus:
And I know I shouldn't love you.
I know I shouldn't love you,
But i do.Verse 2:
I feel it in my soul,
I feel the empty hole,
The cup that can't be filled.I feel it in my blood,
In the fire and in the flood,
The beast that can't be killed.Pre chorus:

Even now you mark my steps.
Lovely, bitter water.
All the days of our delights,
Poison in my veins.Chorus:
I know i shouldn't love you,
I know...INSTRUMENTALBridge:
I am not a fool entire,
No, I know what is coming.
You'll bury me beneath the trees,
I climbed when I was a child.Chorus:
I know I shouldn't love you,
But i do...
