Bittersweet

We spent the night outside on the porch drinking
 Gin in the house on the coast as the storm rolled in
 My regrets, where to begin?
 It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
 Your dark hair and your pale skin,
 And all the goddamn times I never let you in, shit
 I swear to God I wish I told you everything
 It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
 ♪
 We're hopeless again
 We're hopeless again
 Bittersweet, you know what they say
 We shine and we fade, it's always the way
 Bittersweet, you know what they say
 I guess everything's going to kill you one day
 The doctor said, "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit
 Take medicine, you'll feel again",
 But I sure as hell just feel like shit

 The doctor said, "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit
 Take medicine, you'll feel again",
 But I sure as hell just feel like shit
 He says, "It's probably all that drinking", and I say
 "Doc, you're overthinking,
 Why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?"
 (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
 (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
 (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
 (We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again
 There are pieces of us strewn across your bedroom floor
 And there are pieces of me in a trail out your door
 Your sister's sad smile as I passed her on the front porch
 I got stuck in a downward spiral in a time when you needed more
 I said, "I'm sorry, you know" You said, "Get out, just go"
 And I went to pieces with you watching from your window
 I've got these loveless bones, now all I know is alone
 So I lit my final cigarette and I walked three postcodes home
 We shine and we fade
 We shine and we fade
 The doctor said, "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit
 Take medicine, you'll feel again",
 But I sure as hell just feel like shit
 He says, "It's probably all that drinking", and I say
 "Doc, you're overthinking,
 Why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?"
