Chambers, Kasey - Bittersweet Lyrics






If I played in a rock n roll band
And I didn't disappoint you again
Would you take back this
Low down ramblin' man

Cos we were so young and proud
The first time that I let you down
The look upon your face is
All that I see now

And I could list a thousand things
That's make me take you back again
But I don't really need you half as much
As I did then

Cos we were so young and proud
The first time that you let me down
The look upon your face is
All that I see now

I waited out on your street
Between Maple and 83
It wasn't really anything but
Bittersweet

Waited there all night long
Digging my nails into my palms
Waited for a light to come on
Waited for your light to guide me home

I am a big boy now
Don't have to be hangin around
I probably would have let you down again
Anyhow

And I am a big girl now
And I don't want you hanging around
You probably would have let me down again
Anyhow

You probably gonna let me down again
Anyhow

  9. D.... ....

    A brilliant an stunning duet! The kids in the video are great!

  10. B.... S....

    No hope, no inspiration, just darkness and ultimate defeat. No song or story is worth anything without some measure of hope.

    Kacey I think you're an outstanding singer/songwriter but this is a deceptively beautiful song. It expresses only sorrow without hope. The ultimate defeat.

    This is literally the saddest thing ever. Why does this song even exist? This song is only half of a song, half of a story, a lie. and therefore worthless to anyone. Beautifully written and performed though.

  11. S.... B....

  29. U.... C....

    Hi Kasey love everything you do.True inspiration.

  30. S.... B....

  31. P.... R....

    This has to be one of the best songs. If the lyrics are just priceless. Well done!!

    P.... R....

    this is so good

  32. A.... M....

    that moment you realise its the girl you went to primary school with the girl

  33. A.... H....

    This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

  34. J.... ....

    Every once in a long while you find a song that tears your heart out n makes you cry non-stop. It gets in your soul and becomes more than a song. Your emotions take it and turn it into a story. A story that fits into your life. Your very own soundtrack.......... I'm sorry for all the times I let you down. Jennie, I LOVE YOU! Always & Forever!

  35. C.... L....

    She's looking older.

    C.... L....

    Newsflash you pig, eventually we all do.

    C.... L....

    And more beautiful than ever

  36. L.... W....

    I dont know .
    This song remembering me 'wrecking ball-miley cyrus'

  37. V.... R....

    On a serious note.. was this written during their break-up??

  38. V.... R....

    I love this song. But it's giving me story ideas...

  39. J.... C....

    Not very impressive! Was expecting something with a little more sizzle considering Bernard's input.

  40. G.... S....

    Awesome song and she is pretty

  41. C.... H....

    What a beautiful song, it brought a tear to my eye.  The film clip gives me goose bumps, I can't stop re-playing it.

  42. T.... ....

    I just suddenly had a light bulb moment... when the kid with the harmonica walks up to them... I just imagined Kasey and Bernard standing there and Josh Rennie-Hynes being the one with the Harmonica.... and that was just EPIC moment in my mind haha. (For Joshs' Harmonica skills I suggest watching Hold Me Down by him)

  43. P.... M....

    Sounds a lot like Jason Mraz's "I Won't Give Up"...

  44. R.... ....

    are those kids really singing it Kasey that dose not sound like you. i dont think they are really.

  45. k.... w....

    What can I say brilliant

  46. S.... W....

    Going to show my film production students this clip. Clever by any measure.

  47. A.... ....

    Is it just me ? by the time Kasey comes in I am balling :)

    A.... ....

    +AussieDogsChannel That's hilarious! ( Unless you mean "bawling")

    A.... ....

    I am the same lmao

  48. S.... T....

    Two of my fav Aussie artist singing a great song together....just WOW!
    Love the film clip as well.

  49. G.... S....

    That girl is beautiful and has a good voice

    G.... S....

    +General Swirl, that's not the girl in the video singing--it's Kasey Chambers. But both the kids are beautiful. They look like twins to me.

  50. G.... S....

    Awesome song

  51. S.... P....

    I hope their is a movie from this video

  52. L.... C....

    GReat Video.LOVED IT.UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOUR VIDEO WAS ACTUALLY VERY ENCOURIGING.♥♥

  53. M.... C....

    This track was so unlucky in not becoming a commercial hit, I think it narrowly missed out 

  54. b.... ....

    Whoa i'm really feeling this track, great job. 

  55. C.... B....

    Amazing

  56. j.... ....

    I was a little thrown at first, but by the end I thought it was a very nice concept for the video. WTG Kasey and Bernard. Beautiful song. 

  57. I.... ....

    Those kids did a great job.And they are amazingly beautiful.The song is one of Kasey's bests.

    I.... ....

    +IOANNA333, I wonder who they are? I think they must be twins.

  58. Q.... B....

    What a beautiful song xoxo

  59. I.... O....

    Beautiful Australian music we need more of this. Bernard Fanning as usual is absolutely brilliant!

  60. s.... ....

    s.... ....

  61. H.... B....

    Another unrequited love song. Sweet but honestly, bugga heart breakers. If a relationship doesn't work out it's just fate. Great song though.

  62. G.... H....

    Great song!  Just not what I envisioned the video would be when I first heard it.

  63. C.... B....

    Kasey and Kenny sitting in a tree, one step two step wow look at thee.

  64. g.... ....

    I can't believe how beautiful that girl is! Epic genes ♫

  73. d.... ....

    Great song.  Great Performance. Horrible video.  Small children singing about things they are clueless about. What idiot thought this up?

    d.... ....

    IF YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE SONG YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT KASEY IS REFLECTING WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER AND THEN SAYS SHES MUCH OLDER NOW AT THE END.

    d.... ....

    Not a particularly discerning double00spy.  Good comment, Leanne. At least you 'get it'. 

    d.... ....
