A little light looks through her bedroom window
She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems
Of brighter meadows, melting sunsets
Her hair blowing in the breeze
And she can't see me watching
And I'm thinking love, love
Love, loveIt's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrenderIt's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrenderI 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
She pretends she's sleeping
Are we everything we wanted
And I'm thinking love, love
Love, loveIt's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrenderIt's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrenderI said I know we don't talk about it
We don't tell each other
All the little things that 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 bleedIt's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrenderIt's bittersweet
More sweet than bitter
Bitter than sweet
It's a bittersweet surrender
