Bittersweet (Radio Edit) Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
Please stop asking, "Do you still love me?"
Don't have much to say, let's speak in the morning
Please don't do this, I'm too far away
Don't know what to tell you, babe
[Pre-Chorus]
No more hangin' around, oh
No more hangin' around, oh
Now my sun's goin' down, oh
Tellin' me something isn't right, something isn't right, oh
[Chorus]
Bittersweet summer rain
I'm born again
All my broken pieces
Bittersweet summer rain
I'm born again, oh
No more hangin' around, oh
No hangin' around, oh
Oh, my sun's goin' down, oh
Tellin' me something isn't right, oh
[Verse 2]
I slept all Friday and he couldn't get through
If we're good tomorrow, does that make it true?
Not completely, we're pickin' that fight every day
This shit's goin' nowhere, baby
[Chorus]
Bittersweet summer rain
I'm born again
All my broken pieces
Bittersweet summer rain
I'm born again, oh
No more hangin' around, oh
No hangin' around, oh
Oh, my sun goin' down, oh
Tellin' me something isn't right, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
Bittersweet summer rain
I'm born again, mmm

What did Lianne La Havas say about "Bittersweet (Radio Edit)"?
I started this song a long time ago and it was actually one of the contenders for my second album. This album is plotting a timeline, and lyrically this song is an overview of what’s to come. And the entire album is bittersweet—if it wasn’t self-titled, it would be called Bittersweet. Sonically, it’...
What does the Spotify Storyline say about the song?
“Bittersweet” for me signifies a new beginning because of the big changes that I made. This album can be compared to turning into a butterfly, or the journey of a flower. It took five years, and that does feel like a long time to me, but it wasn’t all just recording. There was a lot of living, and a...
