She sits there waiting for him to come home

He shows up late as if nothing is wrong

He's away working nearly all of the time

She needs to talk but she lets him unwind

Love can be easy 

Or love could be hard 

But know that

Love was meant to be bittersweet

He brings her flowers - shes asleep on the couch

He cleans off the table and he lets the dog out

Moonlight through the window catches her hair

He whispers "I love you" and maybe she hears

Love can be easy 

Or love could be hard 

But know that

Love was meant to be bittersweet

All you ever wanted was not to be alone

But then somewhere along the way

Love became your home

The doorbell keeps ringing and the party's begun

She's pouring drinks and he says "I'll have one"

If just for a night they're the talk of the town

Everyone's dancing and he spins her around

Love can be easy 

Or love could be hard but

Love was meant to be bittersweet

Bittersweet, bittersweet

Bittersweet, bittersweet
