(Verse 1)
I watched you smile, like sunlight through rain,
Every word you said carved into my veins.
You never knew how my heart would ache,
Loving you in silence, for my own sake.
(Pre-Chorus)
You reach for her, while I reach for air,
Pretending I don’t care — but I swear, I swear…
(Chorus)
These bitter sweet tears,
They burn but they heal,
Every drop reminds me that what I feel is real.
You’ll never see the storm behind my eyes,
Love unreturned — yet I can’t say goodbye.
(Verse 2)
I trace your shadow in the fading light,
A ghost of hope I hold too tight.
Your laughter lingers, soft and near,
It’s both my comfort and my fear.
(Pre-Chorus)
I wish you’d look my way, just once,
And see the love you’ve left undone.
(Chorus)
These bitter sweet tears,
They burn but they heal,
Every drop reminds me that what I feel is real.
You’ll never see the storm behind my eyes,
Love unreturned — yet I can’t say goodbye.
(Bridge)
If I could tear this heart in two,
One half would still belong to you.
The other half would finally see,
The love I gave was killing me.
(Final Chorus)
These bitter sweet tears,
They fall like rain,
Washing away what still remains.
You’ll never know, you’ll never hear,
The sound of my heart —
And these bitter sweet tears.
