Bittersweetheart — текст песни (Soul Asylum)

Why you always want to get the best of me
I`m like a seeing-eye dog and I can`t even see
They`re naked and they`re following my master who is blind
And my mind`s 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 can`t live without it, I would surely fall apart
But it`s hard to make arrangements `round a bittersweetheart

Bittersweetheart
Better get yourself a little street smart
Bittersweetheart, sad but true
It`s a bittersweetheart that`s a hard heart to cure
It`s just my bittersweetheart

It`s like a suicide mission when you can`t see no end
Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends
I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell
It`s 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
There`s 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
It`s a bittersweetheart that`s a hard heart to cure
My bittersweetheart
It`s the hardest part
Bittersweetheart

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

Bittersweetheart
Think just a drink might get you to the good part
Lyin` in bed just a`wonderin` what to do,
It`s a bittersweetheart that`a a hard heart to cure

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