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 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 bittersweet we shine and we fade i guess everything s going to kill you one day 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 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 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 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 bittersweet we shine and we fade i guess everything s going to kill you one day
