Holly Humberstone - Scarlett lyrics
This track is my absolute fav, it’s a f*ck you to the guy that was going out with my bestie Scarlett and was written as they were breaking up. The relationship was totally one sided Scarlett was all in & had pretty much planned their future & it was pretty clear to me that he was stringing her along until breaking up with her in a really insensitive and heartless way. I was her closest confidant and so I knew everything she was feeling, and i'd see how passive he was with her at parties first hand. She vented to me for probably about a year and so I went through all the stages of a break up with her and watched as she slowly realised her worth and that he wasn’t worth her tears anymore I wanted to write this one from her point of view. It’s a pretty positive song as it’s about her finally letting go, realising his many faults and taking back her life
[Holly Humberstone - Scarlett lyrics]
In such blissful ignorance
Couldn't hit more, like a bolt from the blue
And hate me If you're gonna hate me
But just say it plainly
With everything lately I just need the truth
(Looking back)
We go together, like bad British weather
On the one day I made plans
So go hell for leather
And know that it's out of my hands
Go ahead now
'Cause, I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your namе
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh and I will show myself out
Ooh ooh, ooh I know I adore you
I don't need you now
I said, "Darling, will we go thе distance?"
As I stood there, pouring my heart out
With you just completely unfazed
And you said, "Scarlett
I don't need to be responsible
For everything you're feeling
You're emotional grim reaper
I feel bad for you
I can't entertain these games
Hate to rain on your parade
It's just the way I'm feeling
It's just the way I'm feeling"
'Cause, I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your name
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh and I will show myself out
Ooh ooh, ooh I know I adore you
I don't need you now
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
I don't need you now
(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
'Cause, I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your name
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh and I will show myself out
Ooh ooh, ooh I know I adore you
I don't need you now
