Sara Bareilles — Bittersweet

[Verse 1] Bittersweet seasons Mistake a warm winter for spring Seems like I’m best at leaving When leaving is not the best thing [Chorus] You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give That’s just the way it goes now [Verse 2] I call you misplaced But never a waste of my time Everybody’s gonna make mistakes But you’ll never be one of mine [Chorus] You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give That’s just the way it goes now I knew you felt me leaving long before I ever did And that’s just the way it goes now [Post-Chorus] Loved me fearless, you needed to You would not rest 'til you came through So, God bless, and thank you [Verse 3] There is no anger It's just you, and I, and the truth You can try to make her But love will not be forced to bloom To bloom [Chorus] You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give That’s just the way it goes now The only love worth fighting for is one that you can win And that’s just the way it goes now [Post-Chorus] You would not break but you could bend And, for love’s sake, you let love end But I still swear that you were god-sent [Chorus] And you stood before me Knowing that the wings I have you gave And that’s just the way it goes now And I barely have the breath to breathe Much less to fly away And that’s just the way it goes now [Post-Chorus] And a silence entered the room For one last "I’m gonna love you" So, God bless, and thank you So, God bless, and thank you Thank you
