Caramel - Corinne Bailey Rae

It isn’t love, but pain, that makes you brave

A secret wire you walk but still remain devoted

Quaking like we’re old lovers

Aching in the dark

Wondering, who could be the one to melt your heart

I’ve seen love, vast as oceans

Melt like blood

I see your silhouette across the night

It makes me sad ‘cause you’re so beautiful

Lover, don’t wait too long

After all this bitterness

It tastes like caramel

After all this bitterness

Delicious as caramel

And it’s like seeing the sun again

After years of only pouring rain on my soul

It doesn’t matter now

Just to know it’s possible

Is all I ever dreamed

You give me strength I don’t know why

Resurrect me from the pyre

And it’s the sweet death of your pain

After all this bitterness

Caramel

There’s nothing I could do to make it right

And nothing I could say to make the dark seem brighter

But here’s the one that paints wishes

Riding on a star

Here’s the one that can make a fire

From just a spark

Lure me out, in the desert

And call me home

It tastes like caramel

After all this bitterness

Delicious as caramel

And it’s like seeing the sun again

After years of only pouring rain on my soul

It doesn’t matter now

Just to know it’s possible

Is all I ever dreamed

You give me strength I don’t know why

Resurrect me from the pyre

And it’s the sweet death of your pain

After all this bitterness
