Liner Notes

Despite the dark-ish content, this one was actually kind of fun to write. Good catharsis.

Lyrics

Verse 1
You were never good for me
You were poison
That I couldn’t help but drink
And every sip was bitter
Always burned but
I would lie and say it was sweet

Pre-Chorus
Cause i needed more
So desperate for affection and I couldn’t get enough
No, i needed more
Another toxic dose of artificial love

Chorus
But you never craved me
Not the way that I
would always crave for you
You never wanted me
But I wanted you enough for the both of us

Verse 2
Always thought I was smarter than this
Thought I’d see
The signs and know I should get out
Hoped I would be stronger than this
Escape your charm
This time not give into your power

Pre-Chorus
But i wanted more
Addicted to your attention and I couldn’t get enough
Yeah, i wanted more
A delicious bite of lust laced with venom

Chorus
You never craved me
Not the way that I
would always crave for you
You never wanted me
But I wanted you enough for the both of us

Outro
and i know
you’ll be my demise
but i’ll go
with a smile

    Really nicely performed, enjoyed it. I like the verse melody, there’s a little minor twist. And the chorus has a nice lift, even with the regretful message!

    A story a lot of people can relate to. I can remember having some similar feelings in the past.

    Breakup songs always risk being either too maudlin or too angry. This does not fall into either of those categories. A dash of regret balanced with a touch of laissez faire and sweetly sung . Works well for me 😀
