Bittersweet Taste

I always abide
By the bittersweet times
For the taste forever remains on my tongue

But when both sides provide
Deep pain, deep inside
It feels that choosing just one is wrong

I'd rather laugh with the sinners
Then cry with the saints
For you, a known angel, has done me so wrong

I don't know what to do
Don't know what to choose
For I've deeply loved both sides, for so long
