BITTERSUITE Lyrics - Billie Eilish
Table of Contents
Additional Information
BITTERSUITE," the ninth track on Billie Eilish's third album HIT ME HARD AND SOFT, is a clever wordplay on the term "bittersweet." Replacing "sweet" with the homophone "suite" hints at a lingering bitterness, perhaps like being left alone in a hotel suite without any joy.
The song's segmented structure further reinforces this theme. Similar to a musical suite, which features interconnected movements, "BITTERSUITE" is divided into sections. Interestingly, a musical suite often begins with a prelude and ends with a postlude, mirroring the potential role of Part I and the Spoken part in this song.
Lyrically, "BITTERSUITE" explores Eilish's emotional disconnection. She grapples with a sense of distance from her own desires and emotions. The song highlights a conflict: a yearning for a healthy relationship while recognizing the need for self-protection.

Billie Eilish - BITTERSUITE Lyrics
---
[Part I]
[Intro]
I can't fall in love with you
[Verse]
I've been overseas
I've been havin' dreams
You were in the foyer
I was on my knees
Outside of my body
Watchin' from above
I see the way you want me
I wanna be the one
[Pre-Chorus]
But I gotta be careful
Gotta watch what I say
God, I hope it all goes away
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't fall in love with you
No matter how bad I want to
[Part II]
[Intro]
Mm
Ah, uh, uh, uh
Ah, uh, uh
Mm
[Chorus]
I don't need to breathe when you look at me, all I see is green
And I think that we're in between everything I've seen
In my dream, have it once a week, can't land on my feet
Can't sleep, have you underneath all of my beliefs
Keep it brief
I'll wait in the suite
Keep me off my feet, mm
[Verse 1]
You seem so paranoid
I'm looking at the boys
I've never filled the void
Out of spite
You seem so paralyzed
It's so romanticized
If this is how I die
That's alright
[Chorus]
I've been overseas
I don't need to breathe when you look at me, all I see is green (I've been overseas)
And I think that we're in between everything I've seen
In my dream, have it once a week, can't land on my feet (I've been overseas)
Can't sleep, have you underneath all of my beliefs
Keep it brief
I'll see you in the suite
We can be discrete
[Verse 2]
But I've been overseas
And I've been havin' dreams
L'amour de ma vie
Love so bittersweet, mm
Open up the door for me, for me
'Cause I'm still on my knees
I'm stayin' off my feet
[Outro]
(Will you come with me?)
(Just want you to touch me)
(Come on, ha)
(I know it seems to just be the beginning)
(Listen up, hm)
(I want you to keep on doing it)
(It's something I don't know)
(I've never paid this much attention to you, I know)
[Part III]
[Instrumental]
