lyrics

What if she’d said “it was me
you wore that pretty lipstick for?”
and I could’ve painted her red and said,
“I’ll be yours, instead”.

Well, I knew better than to speak–
had to stare at the concrete.
That grin in her eyes, it’s something divine,
and I’d tell her what I think:

they didn’t love you right
they didn’t love you right
they didn’t love you right
babe, is that what you like?

It’s hard to cough up that sour stuff
when you’re still coloring my blush
it’s hard to explain I spent everyday
cherry picking my words so you don’t get enough

but there you are, his prayers in your arms
that sugary blight seeps through your skin
they’re just desserts, I won’t watch you hurt
can’t put you through that again

‘cause they didn’t love you right
they didn’t love you right
they didn’t love you right
babe, is that what you like?

So, tell me about this new one who tastes so pink
and I won’t tell you what I think
I’ll hold these lines for you, everytime
I’ll hold it until it breaks me

‘cause you didn’t love me right
you didn’t love me right
you didn’t love me right
you didn’t even try

you didn’t love me right
you didn’t love me right
You didn’t love me, right?
‘cause I’ll choose you, everytime

Dear William
by dearest hearts

vignettes of young adulthood that feel as old as time but also incredibly 2010s. it's silly and flippant and absolutely beautiful. Strattford Knockings is my favorite, it gave me psychic damage Sugardeer
