I can still taste the fire of your sweet goodbye
Lingering softly as the hours slip by
I’m standing in the dark, just aching for you
Left alone with the bitter taste of us
The porch light flickers in the sudden cool breeze
I'm tracing your memory down on my knees
The scent of your skin floating through the old trees
Drawing me closer with a slow, gentle tease
Every whisper we shared is a spark on my skin
I'm losing the battle that I wanted to win
Wanted to win
With every slow heartbeat, the craving begins
Pulling me under, pulling me in
Oh, the bitter taste of us, it’s a sweet, slow ride
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I’m drunk on the memory of you by my side
Lost in the waves of a relentless tide
Bitter taste, oh, the bitter taste
Can't wash away what we embraced
The headlights cut out in the heavy night rain
A long, lonely drive down our memory lane
I still feel your touch in this beautiful pain
A quiet devotion that I can't explain
Every secret we kept is a flame in the night
I'm closing my eyes to hold on to the light
Hold on to the light
A sudden surrender without any fight
We were so wrong, but we felt so right
Oh, the bitter taste of us, it’s a sweet, slow ride
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
I’m drunk on the memory of you by my side
Lost in the waves of a relentless tide
Bitter taste, oh, the bitter taste
Can't wash away what we embraced
Falling so deep in this beautiful dream
Where nothing is ever the way that it seems
I'm caught in the rush of a wild, endless stream
And Sayed is lost in the moonlight’s gleam
Chasing the embers that burn in the night
Waiting for darkness to surrender to light
I never thought a memory could hold me this tight.
But I'd drink every drop just to feel you tonight.
