Bittersweet
This soulful Irish singer-songwriter track begins with raw vocals over sparse acoustic guitar, layered subtly with eerie folk harmonies and unconventional percussive elements. Alt R&B bass lines blend with experimental bluegrass touches—banjo plucks mingling with processed backing vocals. The arrangement grows dense in the chorus using off-kilter rhythms and electronic textures, fading to a stark, intimate finish.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wake in another light —
where rain runs down the glass in silver threads.
And I, miles away,
watch steam curl from my cup
as if it might find you.
Thoughts of you still stirs the air when I exhale,
a prayer I never finish.
I remember us
better than I trust.
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s comfort in the ache,
a grace in what won’t change.
I see you laughing through a window
that time refuses to frame.
[Chorus]
It’s bittersweet —
you out there living the song
I’ll never sing beside you.
Bittersweet —
love that won’t fade,
just learns where not to bloom.
There is me,
and there is you —
but never the us
that almost grew.
[Verse 2]
You send no signs,
but I still read the sky,
find your eyes
in the cold of July.
The heart keeps its own forbidden gospel,
and the sweetness of you
cuts deeper for being gone.
[Bridge]
I bless your joy,
and curse the distance —
both in the same breath,
the same sentence.
You’re my could-have,
my always,
my never,
my grace.
[Final Chorus]
It’s bittersweet —
to love like wind through locked doors.
Bittersweet —
to know your heartbeat,
but never your warmth.
There is me,
and there is you —
and love that hums
in the hollow between us two.
