The Hollering Pines - Bitter Sweet Lyrics

I gave you back your ring
A long, long time ago
Since then I have never once looked back
And for a million reasons I have thanked my lucky stars for that

How many nights have come and gone
Without you dancing on
My mind
But I saw you on the street today
You didn't even know
Just like lightning something struck my heart
Now I just can't let it go

Your name is on my tongue now
It tastes so bitter sweet
I can still feel your fingers on my skin
In the dark and in the heat
I can still hear your heart beat in your chest
Now I wish that it was mine
Why are these memories washing over me now
After all this time
I was doing fine

When I left and moved back home
Didn't take our photographs
I burned them all up with a silver lighter
In an old aluminum trash can

I let that chapter burn
Never to return
But those images are burned behind my eyes
And on my soul
Blinding me from all the truths
That I'm Pretending not to know
And I just can't let it go

Your name is on my tongue now
It tastes so bitter sweet
I can still feel your fingers on my skin
In the dark and in the heat
I can still hear your heart beat in your chest
Now I wish that it was mine
Why are these memories washing over me now
After all this time
I was doing fine

Oh now time
Is such a funny little thing
But I'm not laughing at the jokes it plays on me
It seems fate is just putting me on
First I see you in a crowded place
Now I just can't move on

Now I'm always dreaming of your love
I just can't move on
