Bittersweet

Bittersweet seasons
 Mistake a warm winter for spring
 Seems like I'm best at leaving
 When leaving is not the best thing
 You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give
 That's just the way it goes now
 I call you misplaced
 But never a waste of my time
 Everybody's gonna make mistakes
 But you'll never be one of mine
 You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give
 That's just the way it goes now
 I knew you felt me leaving long before I ever did
 And that's just the way it goes now
 Loved me fearless, you needed to
 You would not rest 'til you came through
 So, God bless, and thank you
 There is no anger
 It's just you, and I, and the truth
 You can try to make her
 But love will not be forced to bloom
 To bloom
 You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give
 That's just the way it goes now
 The only love worth fighting for is one that you can win
 And that's just the way it goes now
 You would not break but you could bend
 And, for love's sake, you let love end
 But I still swear that you were God-sent
 And you stood before me
 Knowing that the wings I have you gave
 And that's just the way it goes now
 And I barely have the breath to breathe
 Much less to fly away
 And that's just the way it goes now
 And a silence entered the room
 For one last "I'm gonna love you"
 So, God bless, and thank you
 So, God bless, and thank you
 Thank you
 Oohh ohh
