Bittersweet
Bittersweet Reflections: A Journey from Addiction to Redemption
Lyrics
One more hit to last me through the night
Seeking another dose to last through the night
I'll quit by the morning light
Committing to quitting by the morning
Mama told me this ain't right for me
Mother advising against current choices
Said baby you don't need to be flying to be free
Encouragement to find freedom without indulging
I saw the pain in her eyes
Observing pain reflected in the mother's eyes
Wasted time on all these years gone by
Regret for spending time on years gone by
Being alone was my biggest fear
Fear of loneliness as a significant concern
Now I see the oceans of tears
Realization of the emotional toll with oceans of tears
Letting go of past addictions and aimless highs
Choosing to let go of past addictions and aimless highs
Behind the idols it was easy for me to hide
Using idols as a cover for personal struggles
I ran from the ones I love to do things that made them cry
Avoidance of loved ones for actions causing pain
Bittersweet it is but the end of the road is nigh
Recognizing the bittersweet nature of the journey's end
Broken hearted by hurting the ones I love
Heartbreak from hurting those who are loved
Put my trust in things instead of up above
Dependence on material things instead of spiritual beliefs
Take this life of mine and heal my pain
Plea for healing and transformation of the current life
I've moved on from this I won't return again
Deciding to move forward, vowing not to return
Letting go of past addictions and aimless highs
Reiterating the choice to overcome past struggles
Behind the idols it was easy for me to hide
Using idols as a shield to hide personal challenges
I ran from the ones I love to do things that made them cry
Escaping from loved ones to engage in regretful actions
Bittersweet it is but the end of the road is nigh
Acknowledging the mixed emotions as the journey nears its end
