"Bittersweet Honey" is a song that poured out of my soul, a reflection on the generational patterns we often find ourselves repeating, even when we try so hard to break free from them. It's about the invisible wounds we inherit, the pain that trickles down like honey - slow, sticky, and bittersweet - through the generations of our families, our communities, and our world.
I wrote this song from a deeply personal place, hoping it would resonate with those who feel the weight of their past and the struggle to create a better future for themselves and those they love. We all carry these unspoken stories within us, the echoes of who we were, who we are, and who we hope to become.
"Bittersweet Honey" is an anthem for anyone trying to navigate the complexities of healing - for anyone who has ever seen themselves reflected in the eyes of another, knowing that we are all just trying to get it right, one step at a time. It's a reminder that, despite the pain we may carry, there is always hope for a new beginning, a fresh start where love and understanding guide us instead of fear and regret.
I hope this song touches your heart and encourages you to keep searching for the light within, to keep believing in the power of healing, and to know that you're not alone in this journey. Thank you for listening, and if this resonates with you, please share it with someone who might need to hear it too.
Lyrics...
We carry the weight of those before
Hand-me-down scars, we tried to ignore
It’s in the way we say goodnight
In every silence, every fight
I see myself in your young eyes
A little child, a thousand tries
And I don’t wanna pass it down
But somehow, somehow
Bittersweet honey dripping down the tree
Pain in you is the pain in me
Holding on, but it’s hard to see
Where the healing starts, where we can be free
Bittersweet honey, running through our veins
Same old hurt, we can’t explain
But if we dig deep, past the shame
We might just find, we’re not to blame
You feel the echoes in the night
Like broken records of the past we fight
I wanted to give you something new
A world that's kinder, a clearer view
But somehow, I missed the signs
Got lost in shadows, between the lines
And I’m afraid to watch you fall
But maybe falling’s where we find it all
Bittersweet honey dripping down the tree
Pain in you is the pain in me
Holding on, but it’s hard to see
Where the healing starts, where we can be free
Bittersweet honey, running through our veins
Same old hurt, we can’t explain
But if we dig deep, past the shame
We might just find, we’re not to blame
Let’s break the chains, rewrite the story
Find the light in all our glory
Hand in hand, we’ll face the dark
Heal the wounds, make a brand new start
Bittersweet honey dripping down the tree
Pain in you is the pain in me
Holding on, but it’s hard to see
Where the healing starts, where we can be free
Bittersweet honey, running through our veins
Same old hurt, we can’t explain
But if we dig deep, past the shame
We might just find, we’re not to blame
Bittersweet honey, oh, we’ll try
To heal the pain, let the love rise
Bittersweet honey, we’ll find our way
To a brighter dawn, a kinder day
