Why you always want to get the best of me
Im like a seeing-eye dog and I cant even see
Theyre naked and theyre following my master who is blind
And my minds gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind

So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start
Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark
I cant live without it, I would surely fall apart
But its hard to make arrangements round a bittersweetheart

Bittersweetheart
Better get yourself a little street smart
Bittersweetheart, sad but true
Its a bittersweetheart thats a hard heart to cure
Its just my bittersweetheart

Its like a suicide mission when you cant see no end
Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends
I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell
Its a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell

In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start
But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart
Theres a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright
I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night

Bittersweetheart
Without a shortcut, without a head-start
Bittersweetheart, sad but true
Its a bittersweetheart thats a hard heart to cure
My bittersweetheart
Its the hardest part
Bittersweetheart

Are you in there, are you beating
Beating me up until Im bleeding
How much blood can you spare

Bittersweetheart
Think just a drink might get you to the good part
Lyin in bed just awonderin what to do,
Its a bittersweetheart thata a hard heart to cure

In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart
