Bitter Sweet Love Album Lyrics by James Arthur

Bitter Sweet Love

I won't lie
But your bodies got me feeling under pressure
Under pressure babe
Tell me lies, tell me lies
It don't matter when I'm drowning in your pleasure
It feels electric, babe

So deep
It's in my veins I feel the pain
So, please
Don't play those games, don't play with me

Yeah
I need just a bit of sweet love
And not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
Give me just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet

Yeah, and I could eulogize
About the way look in the red light
You're a killer (you're a killer)
Yeah, it's a thriller, babe (it's a thriller)
Tell me why, tell me why
Do you feel the need to run me through the ringer
When I'm hook line and sinker, babe

So deep
It's in my veins, I feel the pain
So, please
Don't play those games (don't play)
Don't play with me

Yeah
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet

I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love (just a bit of love)
Not your bittersweet love
Give me just a bit of sweet love (sweet love)
Not your bittersweet love
I need just a bit of sweet love (bit of sweet love)
Not your bittersweet
I need just a bit of sweet love (I need a little bit, just a bit of your love)
Not your bittersweet love (oh, just a little bit of love)
I need just a bit of sweet love
Not your bittersweet love (just a bit of your love)
Give me just a bit of sweet love (give me, just need a bit of your love)
Not your bittersweet love (oh, just a little bit of love)
I need just a bit of sweet love (oh, your bittersweet love)
Not your bittersweet, ooh

Free Falling

Maybe I'm free falling
Maybe I'm out of time
Tell me I'm worth something

Maybe they're right about me
Maybe I've lost my mind
Only you give me the wings to fly
Why don't you save me from myself tonight?

You know Jenny down the roads got a new love
And Jimmy got the job like you said he would
Let's see how long it lasts 'cause we know what they're like
I'm falling through the cracks as I watch the world go by
With my head against the glass like a jealous guy

Maybe I'm free falling
Maybe I'm out of time
Tell me I'm worth something

Maybe they're right about me
Maybe I've lost my mind
Only you give me the wings to fly
Why don't you save me from myself tonight?
Why don't you save me from myself tonight?

Maybe I'm free falling
Maybe I'm out of time
Tell me I'm worth something

Maybe they're right about me
Maybe I've lost my vice
Only you give me the wings to fly
Why don't you save me from myself tonight?

Sleepwalking

You've brought the sun, and I've brought the moonlight
We were two souls in a world set to collide
You've brought the wine, and I've brought the flowers
We disappeared in a haze on a summer night

Always, always
I'm tryin' to matter
In someone else's eyes
Always, always
Nothing could matter
As much as you and I

I'm sleepwalking
I dream of you sometimes
We're not talking
But do I ever cross your mind?
I don't wanna let you go
Well I know, I know
Since we lost it
I'm sleepwalking
Woo-ooh-ooh

You've brought me calm, and I've brought you thunder, mhm
You've stopped the panic when I got lost in the storm, oh
And now I feel the waves crashin' over me
It's so hard to breathe, I just need you here
So I'll wait in cave just to numb the pain
Just to see you, there's no other way

I'm sleepwalking
I dream of you sometimes
We're not talking
But do I ever cross your mind?
I don't wanna let you go
Well I know, I know
That since we lost it
I'm sleepwalking
Woo-ooh-ooh
I'm sleepwalking
Woo-ooh-ooh

Always, always
I'm tryin' to matter
In someone else's eyes
Always, always
Nothing could matter
As much as you and I

Said I'm sleepwalking
I dream of you sometimes
When we're not talking
Do I ever cross your mind?
I don't wanna let you go
Well I know, I know
That since we lost it
I'm sleepwalking
Since we lost it
I'm sleepwalking
Woo-ooh-ooh
I'm sleepwalking

Blindside

Summer ends and autumn starts
All fading into one
But I know time left its scars
Never change, oh my god
You were so caught up in your ways
You came for my cautious heart

Like a bolt from the blue
No one ever hit me harder than you

'Cause you caught me on my blindside
Right place at the wrong time
And I don't wanna love the ghost of you
'Cause you caught me on my blindside
You were once in a lifetime
Why do we love the ones that we lose?
I'm haunted by the ghost of you

You were good at talking back
So quick to use my past
All the questions you never asked
Maybe we drove it a little too fast
We broke apart at the seams
I just wish that we could go back

Just like a bolt from the blue
No one's ever hit me harder than you
Now it's all residue
You're just a memory I wake up to

'Cause you caught me on my blindside
Right place at the wrong time
And I don't wanna love the ghost of you
'Cause you caught me on my blindside
You were once in a lifetime
Why do we love the ones that we lose?
I'm haunted by the ghost of you
I'm haunted by the ghost of you

Every day, every night I'm falling
Every day, every night I'm falling
Every day, every night I'm falling

'Cause you caught me on my blindside
Right place at the wrong time
And I don't wanna love the ghost of you
'Cause you caught me on my blindside
You were once in a lifetime
Why do we love the ones that we lose?
I'm haunted by the ghost of you
I'm haunted by the ghost of you

Just Us

I can't stand being the cause of the tears on your cheek
There's a lump in my throat and it won't let me speak
You've been asking to talk
I've been putting it off 'cause I'm
Scared of letting you win on the lies that I keep

And I know the love I've been chasing
Is a waste of time

And I don't wanna say it, but I've been out of control
And I'm ready to face it, baby, once and for all
I'm so tired of running, I'm sick of letting you down
It's been a lonely road but it's all over now
It's just us from here on out

And I hear people talk about love just for something to say
And in this modern world you can live and then die any day
It's a shock to the heart, we got lost in the dark but
Unconditional love is a light that never fades

And I know the love I've been chasing
Is a waste of time

And I don't wanna say it, but I've been out of control
And I'm ready to face it, baby, once and for all
I'm so tired of running, I'm sick of letting you down
It's been a lonely road but it's all over now
It's just us from here on

'Cause you know that
I know it's
Always been you
Always you

And I don't wanna say it, but I've been out of control
And I'm ready to face it, baby, once and for all
I'm so tired of running, I'm sick of letting you down
It's been a lonely road but it's all over now
It's just us from here on out
It's just us from here on out
From here on out

Comeback Kid

We're running through the streets darling, where we going?
You got me on that summer wine and blues, smoking by the tides

It's a rush whenever you're lying next to me
The kind of love that comes around in a century
Yeah, I just wanna feel you 'til the end of time

No, I, I can't live without you
I'm trying, I'm trying but-
I, I can't live without you
Just tell me you feel the way I do

They're calling me the comeback kid
You're the one that changed me
And I know that if I ever slip
You'll be the one that saves me, yeah

It's a trip whenever you're lying next to me
And your lips, the definition of ecstasy
Yeah, said I just wanna feel you 'til the end of time

Alright, I'll admit, I was not prepared for this

No, I, I can't live without you
I'm trying, I'm trying but-
I, I can't live without you
Just tell me you feel the way I do
Just tell me you feel the way I do
(Just tell me you feel the way I do)

(Baby, don't cry)
(Just say you're mine)
(I wanna be with you now)
('Til the end of time)

(Baby, don't cry)
(Just say you're mine)
(I wanna be with you now)
('Til the end of time)

No, I, I can't live without you
I'm trying, I'm trying but-
I, I can't live without you
Just tell me you feel the way I do
Just tell me you feel the way I do
Just tell me you feel the way I do

(Baby, don't cry)
(Just say you're mine)
(I wanna be with you now)
('Til the end of time) just tell me you feel the way I do

(Baby, don't cry)
(Just say you're mine)
(I wanna be with you now)
('Til the end of time) just tell me you feel the way I do

(Baby, don't cry)
(Just say you're mine)
(I wanna be with you now)
('Til the end of time) just tell me you feel the way I do

(Baby, don't cry)
(Just say you're mine)
(I wanna be with you now)
('Til the end of time)

From The Jump

Right from the jump
I was addicted, I was hooked on you
Like July is to the sun
You're the one that I prayed for all my life
And then you arrived
It's amazing how the time flies by
Do you remember, my baby?

Take me back to the summer breeze
We were sleeping out by the willow trees
It was the first time you laid your head on my chest
It was a night I will never forget
That's when I told you on a Friday night
You're always gonna have this heart of mine
Wherever we go, whatever we do
I just wanna spend forever with you

I know this sounds cliché
But I was in love with you from the first sight
Like a moth drawn to a flame
And I know even in another life
I would find you and hold you
Remember I told you I'd never let go, baby

Take me back to the summer breeze
We were sleeping out by the willow trees
It was the first time you laid your head on my chest
It was a night I will never forget
That's when I told you on a Friday night
You're always gonna have this heart of mine
Wherever we go, whatever we do
I just wanna spend forever with you

So get on your favorite dress
Let's drive back to the place we met
I knew I'd die for you right from the jump

So take me back to the summer breeze
Sleeping out by the willow trees
It was the first time you laid your head on my chest
It was a night I will never forget
That's when I told you on a Friday night
You're always gonna have this heart of mine
Wherever we go, whatever we do
I just wanna spend forever with you

Oh yeah
I just wanna spend forever with you
(You're always gonna have this heart of mine)
(Right from the jump)
(Right from the jump)

A Year Ago

I miss you
Your name's still on my coffee cup, I miss you
The way you chose the films we watched, I miss you, babe
If only I had told you that before
Maybe I would never have to miss you
Singing by the kitchen sink, I miss you
Not knowing I was listening, I miss you, babe
You embody everything that I am not
And now, I'm just somebody you forgot

I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
Now I'm driving past your house, I know
The lights are on, you're not alone
I wonder if you're making eyes
I wonder if he loves you like
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you

I miss you
The way you left my car a mess, I miss you
The way you took up half the bed, that empty space
You remind me of the things that I am not
And now, I'm just somebody you forgot

I hope you're well
Oh, and I can't help myself
Oh, no

I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
Now I'm driving past your house, I know
The lights are on, you're not alone
I wonder if you're making eyes
I wonder if he loves you like
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you

I wish it was a year ago
I wish that I could hold you close
The way you said that only I could do
I wish that I could tell you that I miss you

Ruthless

Six months, I thought it was love
You and me laying foundations
Now you're done in a trip around the sun
One day for you to lose your patience

We were growing like an orchid
And I tried to be all you wanted
The flowers that we watered
You ripped them out

Oh my God, you're ruthless
I was foolish, I was wrong
Now I'm crying, I don't do this
And it's useless
Now you're gone
Now that you're gone

Did you mean every word that you said?
'Cause they burn right through me, right through
Like you did
Oh my God, you're ruthless

Yeah, four days, all your messages delayed
I was spiraling, you know I love spiraling, ah, yeah
Your mind was made, there was nothing I could say
I just felt you disengage, did you feel my heart break?

We were growing like an orchid
And I tried to be all you wanted
The flowers that we watered
You ripped them out

Oh my God, you're ruthless
I was foolish, I was wrong
Now I'm crying, I don't do this
And it's useless
Now you're gone
Now that you're gone

Did you mean every word that you said?
'Cause they burn right through me, right through
Like you did
Oh my God, you're ruthless

Oh my God, oh-ohh, yeah
Oh my God, you're ruthless, baby, you're ruthless, baby
(Oh my God, you're ruthless)
(Oh my God, you're ruthless)

New Generation

Suicide rates are higher
Everybody's going viral
Picture perfect in denial
It's the new coronavirus

I guess we never saw the warning signs
I guess we never saw the warning signs

Politicians telling lies
Politicians sniffin' lines
Pick a side, you left or right?
What a way to start a riot

I guess we never saw the warning signs
I guess we never saw the warning

With a little bit of you
And a little bit of me
I feel a new sensation
Let's start a new generation

With a little bit of me
And a little bit of you
I feel a new sensation
Let's start a new generation
Let's start a new generation

Bore us while we're locked inside
Sort of Trumps just Biden time
Putin on a spree of violence
Genocide and Jesus Christ

I guess we never saw the warning signs
I guess we never saw the warnings

With a little bit of you
And a little bit of me
I start a new sensation
Let's start a new generation

With a little bit of me
And a little bit of you
I feel a new sensation
We are the new generation

The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world, woo

The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world
Let's start a new generation

The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world
The kids on the internet are running the world
Let's start a new generation

Let's start a new generation (oh, f*ck it)

My Favourite Pill

She's such a loner
They always tell her to smile
A catatonia, she comes alive in the night
Then she turns into a butterfly

Low serotonin
Got a matchbox ready to spark
The only motive is to cash out, get in the car
Keep driving like a shooting star

Said it's a burn-it-down-leave-no-evidence state of mind
But I think she might be heaven-sent
Danger signs

Oh no, I did it again
I fell for the thrill of it
Oh, said you're pulling me in
You're my favorite pill
And we're never gonna sleep tonight
We're never gonna sleep tonight

She's such a gamble, the rush of rolling the dice
Too much to handle, too lush to ever think twice
So I don't ever think twice

She'll take your spirit, have you strung out, weak at knees
She know no limits, get the guns out if you wanna leave
She's all I'll ever need, yeah

Said it's a burn-it-down-leave-no-evidence state of mind
But I think she might be heaven-sent
Danger signs

Oh no, I did it again
I fell for the thrill of it
Oh, said you're pulling me in
You're my favorite pill
And we're never gonna sleep tonight
We're never gonna sleep tonight
We're never gonna sleep tonight
We're never gonna sleep tonight

We're never gonna sleep tonight
You're my favorite pill, you're my favorite pill, baby
Said never gonna sleep tonight
You're my favorite pill, you're my favorite-
Never gonna sleep tonight
We're never gonna sleep tonight

Is It Alright?

We come in from the cold, your hands are frozen
I could keep you warm, let's start again
I still wanna be your superhero
But you keep saying we just can't be friends

Feels like two minutes ago you were laughing at all my dead jokes
When did it change for you, my love?

Is it alright if I lay with you just one more night?
Let's evade the truth
And go back to the first time that we both felt the same
And we were just falling like tears in rain
Is it okay if we play pretend
Just for one more day or one more night?
Is that alright?
'Cause I'm not doin' so well

I need you like the pills that I've been taking
Give me half a chance, let's start again
My eyes are on the floor, I'm devastated
'Cause I know how this goes if you walk away

Feels like two minutes ago it was you and me against the world
Now it feels like my whole world is ending

Is it alright if I lay with you just one more night?
Let's evade the truth
And go back to the first time that we both felt the same
And we were just falling like tears in rain
Is it okay if we play pretend
Just for one more day or one more night?
Is that alright?
'Cause I'm not doin' so well

Oh, don't leave me now
Said don't leave me now, oh
I said don't leave me now, don't you leave me
I said don't leave me now, oh

Oh, is it alright if you lay with me just one night
Let's evade the truth
And go back to the first time that we both felt the same
When we were just falling like tears in rain
Is it okay if we play pretend
For one more day or one more night?
Is that alright?
'Cause I'm not doin' so well

Homecoming

Redcar Lane was the backdrop of my early days
Two dog of cider, Borough Park
Took me a while to find my place in Rye Hills School
Until I sang and played guitar
I love the people there, they always back the underdogs
And that was us down to a tea
The people ask me what it's like to see Los Angeles
I say, "It ain't no Redcar Beach"

Take me home, I just wanna feel ya
Take me home, give me all your light
Take me home, I belong in Teesside
It's long way back
Take me home
Take me home

Too many miles and too many streets away
Too long chasin' the gold
Since I was a child, I left of my trail of enemies
All in the name of hope
I honed my craft in a lion's den by the riverside
I stuck a target on my back
Growin' up 'round here, I learned no one will pity me
And I'm so thankful for that

Take me home, I just wanna feel ya
Take me home, give me all your light
Take me home, I belong in Teesside
Well, it's long way back
Take me home, I just wanna feel ya
Take me home, I said, give me all your light
Take me home, said, I belong in Teesside
And it's long way back
Take me home

Mm, take me home
Oh, take me home, take me home
Take me home

Said, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming now
This is my homecoming
It's my homecoming
