Sara Bareilles - Bittersweet lyrics

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
