bittersweet - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It all feels bittersweet in the moment, smell the roses

Where home is

I still play hide and seek, my emotions keep me from knowing

Where I’m going

My mom’s gonna pray for me

She hopes I don’t grow in my disbelief

My dad says, “Remember to breathe”

‘Cause you’re gonna know, down the road

It all depends on when

When you say goodbye to all your friends

Remember what they said

“Take the leap and we’ll be there in the end”

If I got a sunset waiting for me

Beautiful girls, I gotta see

Then why does it hurt me to leave

When I’m so happy?

If it’s meant for me, why’s it so bittersweet?

Why’s it so bittersweet?

I don’t think I’m gonna leave

Bought a one-way ticket with no place to sleep

Yeah, I might be broke by 23

But I’m doubling down, putting faith on the ground
