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
