I was walking down that lonely street,

Thinking 'bout the love we used to keep,

When the nights were warm and oh so deep,

But now I'm lost in this bittersweet memory.

You left a mark, it's on my heart,

Ain't no easy way to fall apart,

But I'm still standing, head held high,

Even with these tears I cry.

Oh, it's a bittersweet memory,

A love that was never meant to be,

I keep on dancing, but I can't break free,

From this bittersweet memory.

You used to whisper secrets in my ear,

Now those words are echoes, crystal clear,

I keep on smiling, but it's just veneer,

Hiding all this pain, my dear.

You left a mark, it's on my heart,

Ain't no easy way to fall apart,

But I'm still standing, head held high,

Even with these tears I cry.

Oh, it's a bittersweet memory,

A love that was never meant to be,

I keep on dancing, but I can't break free,

From this bittersweet memory.

Late nights and the neon lights,

Jazz playing, it feels so right,

But the shadows, they still hold tight,

To the love that slipped away.

Oh, it's a bittersweet memory,

A love that was never meant to be,

I keep on dancing, but I can't break free,

From this bittersweet memory.

I'll keep on moving, one step at a time,

Though your memory stays in my mind,

In this world, I'll be just fine,

Living with this bittersweet memory.
