bittersweet

I’ve been learning how to write songs with lyrics in them, the first in this journey being lonely love. As you can see, I’m primarily concerned with writing lyrics about unrequited love or love that doesn’t work out. Maybe one day I’ll write more positive lyrics about love, but for now this is all that I’ve experienced so it’s what I’ll write. I hope you can relate to it.

I think this song is okay and I feel like I am getting better, but I need more practice. I’m looking forward to the next one. Maybe I’ll even have enough music to release in an album next year in 2025!

Also posted at SoundCloud and there’s an HQ download on my Patreon. Lyrics under the cut:


coffee drinks are bittersweet
memories of you
addicted to another waking
moment of you

and then the sun sets
i have to work again
imagine shadows
to keep me company

hypnotic rhythm
nodding off now and then
it’s all so breathless
a silent symphony

but days fly by
before my eyes
memories are lost

forgetting to
remember all the
moments with you

[break]

but days fly by
before my eyes
memories are lost

forgetting to
remember all the
moments with you

but coffee drinks are bittersweet
memories of you
addicted to another waking
moment of you

but coffee drinks are bittersweet
memories of you
addicted to another waking
moment of you
