Bittersweet
Life is always something
Bittersweet
Though we tell ourselves
It's one thing or the other
Well listen to me brother
Life was never meant to be
Just wedding receptions
Or funeral processions
You see
Bittersweet
Hard to face the fact that
Life's no treat
So we tell ourselves
That soon it will stop raining
That full moon won't be waning
But life was never meant to be
Just tropical blue oceans
Or nuclear explosions
You see
Guess this paradox is here to stay
How to make it through the day
Just maintain your equilibrium
Go with the flow
Go with the flow
Guess this paradox is here to stay
How to make it through the day
Just maintain your equilibrium
Go with the flow
Go with the flow
Bittersweet
Much more easy to feel
Life is sweet
So we kid ourselves
When we're feeling lucky
That everything is ducky
But life was never meant to be
Just chocolate confections
Or lovers' rejections
Happy children playing
While parents are straying
You think you'll meet the deadline
But suddenly there's no time
You see
