Bittersweet memories of you and me
Wrote you some love songs, nowadays, they be sounding more eulogies
My little summer fling ended as the winter came
But it's okay, 'cause I'll only have myself to blame
Had some reservations like dinner plans
I was hesitating, slowly noticing our differences
Inquire about your day and hear a common theme
You would rather chase a killer than your dreams
Bittersweet memory of when we started (started)
Do you dream when you sleep, or is it darkness? (Always darkness)
Ring around the rosie, little line of hope
Never stay committed, walking on a rope
Bittersweet, do you dream with your eyes wide shut, or just give up?
You wanted to be an actress, but you never acted on it
Wanted to tattoo, now my leg got half a tattoo on it
Bought you a DJ deck and never saw you scratching on it
Swear that I did e'ry-e'rything I could to be supportive
Livin' off of borrowed time on your parent's dime, ain't you terrified
Of letting life pass by?
Or maybe that's why you always at the club pourin' up
Tryna hide from fomo with that solo cup
Celebrating anyone's accomplishments, but your own
Tell me baby girl, ain't that feeling getting old?
I could feel it in my soul that you meant for more
But we'll never know if you keep your sights set so low
Bittersweet memory of when we started (started)
Do you dream when you sleep, or is it darkness? (Always darkness)
Ring around the rosie, little line of hope
Never stay committed, walking on a rope
Bittersweet, do you dream with your eyes wide shut, or just give up?
Do you remember that night when you pulled up to my crib
And-
I got in the car and you said
Said it felt like we were so distant
Like-
Like you didn't really know me
And we been dating for a while, so I said
"That's a problem
Tell me how I could fix that, I wanna be close to you"
You hesitated
And then you said
Say you rather end it 'cause it's too much effort
Ain't that poetic?
