Bittersweetheart

Why you always want to get the best of me
 I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see
 They're naked and they're following my master who is blind
 And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind
 So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start
 Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark
 I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart
 But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart
 Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
 Better get yourself a little street smart
 Bittersweetheart, sad but true
 It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
 It's just my bittersweetheart
 It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end
 Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends
 I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell
 It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell
 In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start
 But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart
 There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright
 I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night
 Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
 Without a shortcut, without a head-start
 Bittersweetheart, sad but true
 It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure
 My bittersweetheart it's the hardest part
 Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
 Are you in there, are you beating
 Beating me up until I'm bleeding
 How much blood can you spare
 Bittersweetheart, bittersweetheart
 Think just a drink might get you to the good part
 Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do,
 It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure
 In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart
