[Verse 1]
Picking up on the signs, I know the line
You're thinking 'bout that other life, you live a lie
Did no one tell you that the grass ain't greener?
L.A. ain't sweeter
It's just full of dreamers
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I just wanted to make your dreams a reality
But I don't wanna waste my time (I don't wanna waste my time)
'Cause you are taking liberties
You're sucking all my energy
It's making me ill now
But I still feel bad
[Chorus]
You and I were meant to be
So why you'd make me so low, baby?
Take time, take all the time in the world
Why'd you leave me so low, baby?
[Verse 2]
Are you picking up on the signs?
They are not fine
I bet you're just living your best life
Eating on those garlic fries
They were nice, we went there twice
Oh, what a bougie life
And they were so overpriced
Twice
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I just wanted to make your dreams a reality
But I'm not wasting my time (My time, my time)
'Cause you are taking liberties
You're sucking all my energy
You're making me ill now
But I still feel bad
[Chorus]
You and I were meant to be
So why you'd make me so low, baby?
Take time, take all the time in the world
Why'd you leave so low, baby?
[Bridge: (Spoken)]
Picking up on the signs, I know the line
You're thinking 'bout that other life, you live a lie
Oh, did no one tell you that the grass ain't greener?
L.A. ain't sweeter
It's just full of dreamers, oh
[Outro]
Why'd you leave me so low?
Why'd you leave me so low, baby?
Why'd you leave me so low?
Why'd you leave me so low, baby?
So Low was written by Naomi Scott.
Naomi Scott released So Low on Thu Jun 07 2018.
Naomi told The Line of Best Fit:
I wrote ‘So Low’ about a friend of mine, who was in a relationship that left them pretty drained. I liked the contrast and idea of writing quite sad lyrics against an upbeat fun track. It’s heartbreak illustrated in a playful way, (if that’s even possible!).
