play is the b-side to Natalie’s new single Figure of 8. It was written by Natalie at 4am in her bedroom, and is a vulnerable
and raw interpretation of the same topic. Natalie says “this track is a self-aware piece
about making those conscious, deliberate mistakes. Knowing what’s going on in your tra...
I always knew it wouldn’t last
It couldn’t last
It never should
You told me once that I was bad
Took what I had
And lusted good
But I never told my friends
Coz I always knew the end would
You found me young
When I was dumb
I saw the world in black and white
I needed you to shake me up
Give tougher love
Make me your wife
But I never took that chance
Distraction blooded circumstance
You don’t get who I am
And You don’t fit my plan
But carry me carry me away
When I can’t see straight
Don’t misunderstand
I needed a man
To smother me and pity me this way
Together we could ruin Me as play
I always knew that you and I
A point in time
To scar me deep
My fear of failure
And my pride
With you combined
Put me to sleep
Encouraging my shame
I loved you in the right way
You don’t get who I am
And you don’t fit my plan
But carry me carry me away
When I can’t think straight
Get me high twist my hand
Punish me best you can
When I’m giving up
Escape a stressful day
Together we could ruin me as play
Out of the woods into the fire
You changed me for the better
I could never tame that wild desire
And now i blame It on the weather
Feel me when you’re low and
Miss my body let me go
