lyrics
BITTER HERBS
Bitter herbs, crushed to dust now
Nectar sweet, melt away now
Everything, slowly steeping inside
This cup is warm, but only tonight.
Take a sip, can we forget now
Just today, no words or regrets now
If this is the last time to gaze in your eyes
Heart breaks spilling into this chai
[chorus]
There was a time, we both dreamed away
In coffee shops, our love brewing away
Let me drink deep your fantasies
Pour your secrets out, all your memories
And now we’re here, it only ends once now
When you leave, forever is done now
And I know there’s nothing more we can say
As we’re sitting here, already drifting away
Can we linger, just one story, one more fantasy
When this cup is done - so are we.
