[jasminelawson]

Hi, so I'm just a random stranger that has suddenly appeared here but I just wanted to thankyou so much, I've been feeling down so much recently and just hearing this song has brought my mood up a lot, I'm glad I decided to listen to your music today :)

[tyzzieee]

This literally brought tears to my eyes. The past almost-two-years of listening to your music have flown by and it's been so incredible to watch you all grow and develop and release all these amazing new songs. I still remember finding your Tumblr post, loving the vibes and jumping on Spotify to listen to the new song you were promoting, and immediately going through everything else you had released.
Waiting until midnight for each new song drop has been my favourite part of the past two years. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you.

LYRICS:
( I did copy these from genius but thought it might be helpful to post them in the comments )


[Intro]
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba

[Verse 1]
I look in the mirror at a person I'm not sure I know
Red cheeks, bleeding lips and bruises on each elbow
I fall asleep with my eyes wide terrified, you take a photo to remember that night
We're destined to fall in love the same way. I'll bring the papers if you bring the bouquet

[Chorus]
There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Smash the glass, whisper into screaming, 'What do you have to be sad about?'
There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Didn't realise happy wasn't healing - what do you have to be sad about?

[Verse 2]
We could've been a wedding band
Scot takes the brass and Mikey takes the strings
Instead bleed syllabic - pain in every decibel
Remove cries from your temporal but the weight in chest still stings (Ooh!)

[Chorus]
There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Smash the glass, whisper into screaming, 'What do you have to be sad about?'
There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Didn't realise happy wasn't healing - what do you have to be sad about?

[Bridge]
(Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba)
You stitch the seams in your cardigan and you call yourself brand new
But reinvention don't work that way, it's death in the chest
And you've been searching so many notes in cursive
And yeah it hasn't worsened, yet solutions feel their furthest

[Chorus]
There I was a multitude of feeling, (Hey-hey!) fresh concrete in my mouth
Smash the glass, whisper into screaming, 'What do you have to be sad about?'
There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Didn't realise happy wasn't healing - what do you have to be sad about?

There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Smash the glass, whisper into screaming, 'What do you have to be sad about?'
There I was a multitude of feeling, fresh concrete in my mouth
Didn't realise happy wasn't healing - what do you have to be sad about?

[iggykad]
