Every now and then
I still get a flashback
Of the time I spent
Thinking you could be that one
Should I have just kept your love?

As I understand,
We don' had some good times
On the other hand,
Kept me crying all night
It was too much for my mind

So even though I left you
I can't forget you
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Yes I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn, I really loved ya
I ain't gonna lie

'Cause when I think about you

It's bittersweet

I still have a box
Full of things you gave me
Start to throw it out
Something always stops me, yeah
I'm not as over as I say

Deep inside my heart
I made the right decision
But it's kinda hard
When your mind is thinking of,
Did I make a big mistake?

Even though I left you
Can't forget you
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Yes I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really love you
I ain't gonna lie

When I think about you

It's bittersweet

See I have to understand
That, somebody is gonna get hurt
Out of this situation
And you just hope it's not you

At times
Part of me wants you, part of me don't
Part of me is missing you, part of me is gone
Part of me is saying that the love is still strong,
Part of me is letting go

So even though I left you
Can't forget you
Oh when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Yes I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet

When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Damn I really loved ya
I ain't gonna lie

When I think about you, it's bittersweet
My love, my love, my love
It's bittersweet
Our love, love get hurt
Love get hurt just sometimes
This shit is bittersweet, bittersweet
