Sweet Sorrow by Mijo Biscan

I wrote Sweet Sorrow during my final days in an Icelandic songwriting retreat, feeling the weight of leaving behind a sacred creative space. This song explores the beauty of nostalgia—how we hold onto what we’ve lost because it once meant everything. With echoes of Tom Waits’ melancholy, Sweet Sorrow is a love letter to fleeting moments, bittersweet memories, and the ache of knowing that nothing lasts forever.
🌟Big love ❤️

*****LYRICS*****

Sweet sorrow

Yes, parting is such sweet sorrow.
I hate to break it honey. But I leave early tomorrow.
When I go, you can’t come with me.
But with me, you will always be.

If I can’t hold today ‘cause I’m lookin’ the other way.
With my back to the ocean, I’m downhill, no-brakes, coastin’.
I’m headed for trouble, but I can’t let go of this sweet sorrow.

Your memories I hold in a jewel case in my chest.
They light me up. They shine brighter than the rest.
And they may fade, but I will shine them every day.
Always, with me, you will stay.

How can I hold today if I’m lookin’ back the other way?
With my back to the wild, wild ocean. I’m downhill, no-brakes, coastin’.
Yeah, I’m bound for trouble, but I can’t let go of this sweet sorrow.

Yeah, I’m headed for nothin’ but hurt and trouble, but I don’t want to let go…
Of this sweet sorrow.
