BITTERSWEET

I saw your name
in fluorescent lights above the center stage.
I saw your face,
a silhouette shrouding open space.
I thought your kind
was not allowed near the human mind.
I'm wrong, I'm blind,
a foolish move to think you ain't alive.

A foolish move that I just had to find.

I heard your steps
creaking floorboards and all the rest.
I felt your breath
with goosebumps all up n' down my neck.
I hope as the evening comes
you'll be gone, you'll be gone just like the sun.
But I know I'm wrong.

You're bittersweet but haunted.
You fantasise and flaunt it.
I cannot be the only,
the only one who takes you home.

I felt your skin
pressed to mine in a sudden whim.
I held your sins
with deep regret from knowing where they've been.
I know you've been here before
Don't say it ain't so, don't say it ain't so.
I held your sins...

You're bittersweet but haunted.
You fantasise and flaunt it.
I cannot be the only, the only...

You're bittersweet but haunted.
You fantasise and flaunt it.
I cannot be the only,
the only one who takes you home.

The only one who takes you home.
