Bittersweet Video (MV)

Do you remember your first love?
The person who you found then knew you were in search of
I sure remember mine etched forever in my mind
Two lovers intertwined we would stand the test of time

But that was just a pipe dream when I was young
Tryna figure what life means at 21
When it fell apart I had nothing to catch me
Pieces of my shattered ego staring back at me

Years and days erased you move backward
Echoes of her laughter reflecting from the rafters
You feel like a disaster
Stressed built so brittle you might crack like plaster

Can't erase the pain even if you move past it
Feel it as you close eyes and mind fade to blackness

But it's these moments when I feel the most alive
I can focus on me push the noise to the side
I can't sink any lower, damn straight I'm gon' rise
You can see the burning fire in the whites of my eyes

So all that time it takes
Feels like a bit of waste
San Francisco probably always gonna leave a bitter taste
But bitters bittersweet
Without it life is incomplete
I spark a light at night to quell the darkness make it obsolete

So now I learned to take the bad with the good
Relationships test patience like a labyrinth would
Now I'ma spend my days traveling and canoe paddling and
Fondly looking back where we stood girl I miss you

Have you ever moved away from friends and your community?
Cross country or state, everything feeling new to me
Void of comfort but flush with opportunity
Leaving things behind can feel like pure lunacy

You think to yourself how do I say bye tonight
To this phase of my life, yo it don't feel right
Apprehension, tension, not to mention
The weight of feeling like the center of attention

At a going away party, show me the way hardly
Half of these people will ever remember my face probably
Nah that ain't true, y'all a dope ass crew
It'll always be the same when I open a brew with you

Remember the scent of the summer breeze muddled with mint
The glint in your eyes knowing your words are never minced

Amongst your true friends accomplices and associates
Inside jokes revealing you as the dopiest
Leaving that behind you risk a bit of loneliness
But don't look back, no regrets of hopelessness

We a tapestry, complex like a bit of lace
Seeing y'all in photos gonna always leave a bitter taste
But bitters bittersweet
Without it life is incomplete
I pour one out without an ounce doubt that y'all still with me

What I won't forget is that we share a bond
Be it spoken or the name of a song
So ima keep blunt smokin' with my arms wide open
Telling stories so the memories strong fam I miss you
