[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I could see a bloodbath coming
Playing checkers as the flat was flooding
I wasn't eating and you still said nothing
Better, should’ve known, should've known better
But I dug my heels in
Got really good at underwater breathing
Guess that was my stubborn season
Better, should've known, should’ve known better
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Baby, it's sad, you're bad in the bones
So I just went home
[Chorus]
Now it's coming up roses
Kicking up snow
What a long winter
What a bad joke
Shady when we held hands
Everyone else can have him but I won't
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Love him I don't
Love him I won't
Love him I did for a minute, but I'm finishеd ’cause I’ve learnt
Loving him hurts
Loving him don't work
So lovе him I don’t
[Verse 2]
Met you through my favourite cousin
Lighting cigarettes off an oven
Fell for you and got a bad concussion
Should've, better, known, should've known better
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What a state, what a waste of your twenties
Couple lies, couple times, that's plenty
Oh, you’re bad in the bones, so I'm just going home
Don't text me
[Chorus]
Now it's coming up roses
Kicking up snow
What a long winter
What a bad joke
Shady when we held hands
Everyone else can have him but I won't
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Love him I don't
Love him I won't
Love him I did for a minute, but I'm finished 'cause I've learnt
Loving him hurts
Loving him don't work
So love him I don't
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Oh, love him I don't
Love him I won't
Love him I did for a minute, but I'm finished 'cause I've learnt
Loving him hurts
Loving him don't work
So love him I don't
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Baby, it's sad, you're bad in the bones
So I just went home
[Chorus]
Now it's coming up roses
Kicking up snow
What a long winter
What a bad joke
Shady when we held hands
Everyone else can love you but I won't
[Outro]
Loving you hurts
And I loved you first
It didn't work out, and I wanted it to work
Loved you, I swear
Loving you's not fair
So love you I don't

My favourite on the album. Lyrically and musically, it feels like the combination of a lot of songwriting that I’ve done and a lot of learning about what I love. There’s a real heaviness but also lightness. It’s a song to sing to yourself when you don’t feel it.
