Bittersweet Lyrics

by Everything But The Girl

don't talk to me in that familiar way

when the keys are in my hand

don't say that everything is here to stay

and I must try to understand

when I'm trying not to look into your eyes

trying not to listen to your lies

trying just to keep hold of myself

oh but it's hard when you leave me on the shelf



you say that I set a path for you to follow

and I've already given in

but I only meant for you to taste not swallow

where I end is where you must begibn

so try not to look into their eyes

try not to listen to their lies

try just to keep hold of yourself

oh I know it's hard when they leave you on their shelf



she's such a sweet girl

free of the taints of this world

think that's a compliment

don't be so full of sentiment

why you worship sweetness

what virtue's there in weakness

being pushed about is nothing much to shout about I know
