I'm giving up the ghost of love And a shadow is cast on devotion She's the one that I adore Queen of my silent suffocation Break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Bittersweet I won't give up, I'm possessed by her I'm bearing a cross, she's turned into my curse Break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Bittersweet, I want you (how I wanted you) And I need you (how I needed you) Oh, break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Break this bittersweet spell on me Lost in the arms of destiny Bittersweet
