“Bittersweet (Gone)” is a unreleased song from Victoria Beckham from her 2nd Studio Album
Lyrics:
Ooh-Ooh
Yeah-Yeah
I never knew that we were through
I was too fallen and fallen for you
You walked away, out of my life, nothing to say
Couldn’t deny, or ask you why
Why you were telling me lie after lie
Without a sign, no longer mine, it was good-bye
Did you think I couldn’t live without you?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
And listen baby, I, I was right to doubt you
I can live without you by my side
(Now you’re gone) And the days are getting brighter
(Now you’re gone) And the writings on the wall
(Now you’re gone) Now my heart is out of danger
(Now you’re gone) I have no regrets at all
I have no fear, my conscience is clear
Won’t let your memory drive me to tears
Suddenly now, I understand why you are gone
A bittersweet revenge, in the end
Is a heart that can grow on command
Take it from me, I’m mov-ing on.
Did you think I couldn’t live without you?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Now listen baby, I, I was right to doubt you
I can live without you by my side
(Now you’re gone) And the days are getting brighter
(Now you’re gone) And the writings on the wall
(Now you’re gone) Now my heart is out of danger
(Now you’re gone) I have no regrets at all
I’ve been thinking about you night and day
All the time that we spent, just thrown away
I’ve been thinking about how you tried to break my heart
Now I’ve finally found the strength to say
That letting you go is the only way
I’ve decided today is the day to move on
Did you think I couldn’t live without you?
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Now listen baby, I, I was right to doubt you
I can live without you by my side
(Now you’re gone) And the days are getting brighter
(Now you’re gone) And the writings on the wall
(Now you’re gone) Now my heart is out of danger
(Now you’re gone) I have no regrets at all
(Now you’re gone) And the days are getting brighter
(Now you’re gone) And the writings on the wall
(Now you’re gone) Now my heart is out of danger
(Now you’re gone) I have no regrets at all
Now that you’re gone
Now that you’re gone

Album:
The song was to be released in Beckham’s second studio album, that was scrapped. The leak from the album, named “Open Your Heart”, come online in 2006.
Background:
In 2002, Beckham signed a contract with Telstar Records and 19 Management worth £1.5 million. Beckham then began recording a pop-influenced album, Open Your Eyes, which yielded the single “Let Your Head Go”, but she allegedly chose not to release the album after being disappointed with the results. Instead of pop, Beckham wanted a more urban sound and worked with urban producer Damon Dash to work on the R&B and hip hop influenced album Come Together. A Dash-produced track “It’s That Simple” featuring M.O.P. premiered on radio stations in July 2003, generating mixed reviews.
“Bittersweet”, also known as “Gone” in the demo, ASCAP Work #320961313.
With the UK media describing her solo music career a failure, combined with a rumored fall-out between Dash and Fuller, her hip hop album, Come Together, was not released. She was dismissed from Telstar when the company became bankrupt, and gave up music to focus her fashion career.
