Writer In the Dark [Instrumental] Songtext
von Lorde

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

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

I am my mother′s child, I'll love you '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 still feel you, now and then
Slow like Pseudoephedrine
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

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

I am my mother's child, I′ll love you '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 '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
