Eileen Torrez Bittersweet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't untwine the threads of fate
To free you from such heavy weight
And I can't make the path of fortune swerve
To give you what you most deserve

[Chorus]
But I can bring you one heartbeat
At least to make it bittersweet

[Verse 2]
I can't unwind what time has wrought
Defy the demons you have fought
And I can't wipe away the tears you've cried
That sank into your cheeks at night

[Chorus]
But I can bring my steady feet
At least to make it bittersweet [Bridge]
We don't have to ask why
Only keep traveling on
Underneath the same sky
That holds the darkness with the dawn
Just keep walking down this road
I will follow where you go
No matter where it leads

[Verse 3]
Not by desire or strength of will
Can I defeat what hurts you still
And though I'd gladly take on all your pain
I can't seep the poison from your veins

[Chorus]
But I can bring a love complete
At least to make it bittersweet
