Bittersweet [Spanish translation]

[Verse 1]

Bittersweet seasons

Mistake a warm winter for spring

Seems like I’m best at leaving

When leaving is not the best thing

[Chorus]

You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give

That’s just the way it goes now

[Verse 2]

I call you misplaced

But never a waste of my time

Everybody’s gonna make mistakes

But you’ll never be one of mine

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Loved me fearless, you needed to

You would not rest 'til you came through

So, God bless, and thank you

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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
