Bittersweet

(Style: Indie folk-pop with fingerpicked acoustic guitar over deep sub pulses and minimal electronic drums; verse keeps it intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising low synth, chorus turns dark and cinematic with grunge-leaning guitars, octaved vocal doubles, and delay throws on the title phrase. Final drop strips to bare voice, then returns with haunted full-band weight and a wide, punchy mix., electronic, rock, deep, pop, acoustic, male vocals, grunge, indie folk, minimal, moody)

Verse 1

We were always side by side

Nothing heavy, nothing hard

Just three hearts in the same place

Before I knew who you are

She still leans into your shoulder

Like she always did before

And I hate the way I notice

You looking for me more

Pre-Chorus

This feels wrong

But it feels right too

Chorus

Bittersweet

The way I want you

The way she smiles

Like she doesn’t know the truth

And every time you touch my hand

I forget what I should do

It’s beautiful

and cruel

Bittersweet

falling for you

Verse 2

We still laugh the same together

Still stay out talking late

But now there’s something underneath it

Something we can’t say

Sometimes your eyes find mine

And stay a second too long

And my whole world changes

While everything goes wrong

Pre-Chorus

I should pull away

But I don’t want to

Chorus

Bittersweet

The way you hold me

Like you already know

what this could be

And I know somebody’s heart

will break when this gets through

It’s beautiful

and cruel

Bittersweet

loving you

Bridge

If love is honest

why does this feel hidden?

Why does something so soft

feel forbidden?

Final Chorus

Bittersweet

You next to me

Her laughing in the other room

while you look at me

And I know this kind of love

only ends in wounds

But God…

I still want you.
