Lyrics Bittersweet - Chris Smither

Bittersweet

Hey now
You sweet old candy man
You do the best you can
And watch it all slide through
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
No one left to tell us why
We kissed the girls and made 'em cry

Hang on
No time to learn it now
We'll still be learning how
When we all go down
We never even knew what made the world go round
If you catch it, let me know
If it hollers, let it go

Showdown
It's time to cut and deal
The stakes were never real
Why do we love to play?
Everything we win just seems to fade away
And the things we lose keep us in tow
But if it hurts, it doesn't show

Hey now
You sweet old candy man
You do the best you can
And watch it all slide through
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
Nothing seems to hang on like it used to do
