Bitter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Honey, you got all of me
Mixin' up the sweet with the sour taste
First, your nails are digging deep
Then you're singing me to sleep
Bringin' out the worst in me
Supernaturally, but you do it best
A cherry cola cigarette
Bad for me, so hard to quit

[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I-I don't think I could love you more
It's impossible

[Chorus]
I'm like, damn
Even sugar tastes sweeter out your hands
I come back every time
Man, oh, man
For your candy lips, I drop all my plans
Then you turn cold, and I turn bitter

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of all the arguin'
But your cinnamon got me back again
You build a bridge, then burn it down
Just to feel the heat around
Why, why do I stare, stare in those eyes?
I get tonguе-tied
Tied to your powerful, powеrful
I lose all, lose all control
[Chorus]
Like, damn
Even sugar tastes sweeter out your hands
I come back every time
Man, oh, man
For your candy lips, I drop all my plans
Then you turn cold, and I turn bitter

[Bridge]
Bit of this and a bit of that
It's bittersweet how you bring me back, oh
You turn cold, and I turn bitter
Bit of this and a bit of that
It's bittersweet how you bring me back, oh (Come on)
You turn cold, and I turn bitter

[Pre-Chorus]
I-I-I-I don't think I could love you more
It's impossible

[Chorus]
I'm like, damn
Even sugar tastes sweeter out your hands
I come back every time
Man, oh, man
For your candy lips, I drop all my plans
Then you turn cold, and I turn bitter
Damn, damn
Then you turn cold, and I turn bitter
[Outro]
Bit of this and a bit of that
It's bittersweet how you bring me back, oh
You turn cold, and I turn bitter
Bit of this and a bit of that
It's bittersweet how you bring me back, oh
You turn cold, and I turn bitter

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did The Vamps say about "Bitter"?
Genius Answer

Tristan:

We were in LA and we were actually hanging out with [singer-songwriter] JHart. We were recording vocals for a song called ‘Protocol’ and we were kind of doing other odd bits and he came up and then I remember [we] just started jamming out ‘Bitter’. I think it just came together really naturally and we kind of went back and forth.

Brad:

‘Bitter’ was really, really close for ages, but it always was missing something, and then the four of us just went to the studio and were like, ‘Should we just do gang vocals?’ That was literally the thing that made it go from 90% to 100% finished.
