Lorde - Writer in the Dark Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Break the news—you’re walking out

To be a good man for someone else

Sorry I was never good like you

Stood on my chest and kept me down

Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd

Did my best to exist just for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Now she’s gonna play and sing and lock you in
her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

[Chorus]

I am my mother’s child, I’ll love you &#
8217;til my breathing stops

I’ll love you ’til you call the cops on
me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret
power

I’ll find a way to be without you, babe

[Verse 2]

I still feel you, now and then

Slow like pseudo-ephedrine

When you see me, will you say I’ve changed?


I ride the subway, read the signs

I let the seasons change my mind

I love it here since I’ve stopped needing you

[Pre-Chorus]

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

Now she’s gonna play and sing and lock you in
her heart

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

[Chorus]

I am my mother’s child, I’ll love you &#
8217;til my breathing stops

I’ll love you ’til you call the cops on
me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret
power

I’ll find a way to be without you, babe

I am my mother’s child, I’ll love you &#
8217;til my breathing stops

I’ll love you ’til you call the cops on
me

But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret
power

I’ll find a way to be without you, babe
