Flyleaf - Bitter Sweet Lyrics






The depth of my soul in the depth of your voice
With words I've tried to find since I have been alive
This whole world stopped when you spoke

Your grieving stabs me, I've lost you too
Just hearing your love is never enough

Bittersweet embrace
Fit or run in place
Don't leave me so thirsty
Or else hush this hurry
Weight on me
Weighs more than me
So wait with me and we'll stop crying

The pent up flood gates maintained in your tone
Though its all we can give, it isn't where we live
Through dim reflection we know

The depth of my soul in the depth of your voice
With words I've tried to find since I have been alive
This whole world stopped when you spoke

Bittersweet embrace
Fit or run in place
Don't leave me so thirsty
Or else hush this hurry
Weight on me
Weighs more than me
So wait with me and we'll stop crying

You're a revolutionary
Bittersweet love
You're a revolutionary
Bittersweet love

Bittersweet embrace
Fit or run in place
Don't leave me so thirsty
Or else hush this hurry
Weight on me
Weighs more than me
So wait with me and we'll stop crying

    What's the meaning of this song?

    D.... M....

    This is a christian band and shes explaining God's love and his presence how we only get a glinpse of his glory here on Earth with just hearing the words he spoke from the bible it explains what our souls need "the depth of your words the depth of my soul" this isnt our home so when she says "Just hearing your love is never enough why cant we live there with you" "this isnt where we live" in the bible it says we are foreigners here because we are citizens of heaven and it also says wait on the lord those who wait on the lord will never grow weary so she says "wait with me and we'll stop crying" and reading the gospel is described as food & drink and it says they thirst and hunger for knowledge so she says "dont leave me so thirsty" ive noticed with flyleaf to understand their lyrics better you have to read the bible because there are a lot lyrics inspired by scripture (: even if you do not believe in jesus, the words are beautiful and you can understand how she feels about the bible and jesus and decode her poetry

    Basically as christians we are all waiting for jesus and its bitter sweet because we arent with him right now & we're waiting for him to come back, though we're saved by him we still have troubles in every day life
