Sweet Bitter Love
Eternal Echoes of Sweet Bitter Love: Aretha's Heartfelt Tale
Lyrics
I talked to you today, we've loved each other
I communicated with you today, expressing our enduring love for each other
For so long, in that special way
We have shared a special kind of love for a significant period
And if circumstances should keep us apart
If circumstances separate us, I want you to be aware
I just want you to know
I want to convey
That you will remain forever, here in my heart
Your presence will always reside in my heart
Sweet, sweet bitter love
Referring to the love as bittersweet
The taste still lingers, though through my helpless fingers
The memory of this love persists, slipping away despite my efforts
You slipped away, ooh, yes you did
You left, slipping away from my grasp
Sweet, sweet bitter love, what joy you taught me
This love brought both joy and unintended pain
What pain you didn't mean to but ya brought me
It taught valuable lessons but also caused emotional distress
And so shall, baby and so shall it stay
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the impact
My magic dreams have lost their spell
Expressing disappointment as magical dreams lose their enchantment
And where there, where there was hope
Where there was hope, now there's an empty shell
Oh, there's an empty, empty shell
Highlighting the void left behind
Oh, sweet, my my my, my my my, my my, bitter love
Repeating the bittersweet nature of the love
Why have you awakened, ha, and then, and then you've forsaken
Questioning why the love has resurfaced only to abandon
A trusting heart like mine, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
Expressing the betrayal of a trusting heart
My magic, oh, my magic dreams
Reiterating the fading magic of dreams
They've all, they've all, all lost their spell
Emphasizing the loss of enchantment in dreams
And where there, where there was a little bit of hope
Similar to line 15, underlining the absence of hope
Yes sir, there is, oh look at me now, there is an empty shell
Observing the current state of emptiness
Oh, sweet, my my my, my my my, my my, bitter love
Repeating the bittersweet sentiment
Why have you awakened and then
Questioning the resurgence of this love and its subsequent abandonment
And then and then and then and then you know, you have forsaken
Emphasizing the repeated cycle of awakening and forsaking
A trusting heart, yeah, yeah, like mine
Highlighting the trust placed in the relationship
A trusting heart like mine
Reiterating the trusting nature of the speaker's heart
I love you boy, yes I do,
Expressing love for the person addressed
Like mine
Reiterating the trusting nature of the speaker's heart
