I could show you now
But you'll never gonna see
'Cause you're watching me go up in smoke
I could shut it down, when I'll lose you're gonna leave
But you know that I'll fall out of love
There's secrets that you know
And secrets that I hold

Take these tired wings
Oh, it's gotten you to stay
Love so Bittersweet
All the happy tears it brings
We'll do it, we'll fly it back to me
Bittersweet

I could tell you last
But I know you wanna hear
But the words would only build a wall
Gotta wash my hands to the river and clear
As the years go by we rise and fall

Take these tired wings
Oh, it's gotten you to stay
Love so Bittersweet
All the happy tears it brings
We'll do it, we'll fly it back to me
Bittersweet

Falling through the cracks
Never gonna see
Never gonna see
It's not coming back
Not for ready though
Not for ready think
I know what you need
Telling me you feel
We go on
Falling through the cracks
Never gonna see

Take these tired wings
Oh, it's gotten you to stay
Love so Bittersweet
All the happy tears it brings
We'll do it, we'll fly it back to me
Bittersweet, Bittersweet
