“So I was in traffic in LA, and I had this idea of a chorus and just sang it into my phone and recorded it as a voice note. Walked into the studio that day and said this is the angry part of the story that I’ve been needing to write about” – Lights – Skin&Earth: Making an album/comic crossover
O...
[Intro]
I was hangin' next to you by a thread from so high
We were heaven and the moon in the center of my eye
[Verse 1]
And I would shine on you
And I would kiss your crown
And then out of the blue
You would cut me down (Cut me down)
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you hung up the phone and you blocked my number
I was alone in the rain and thunder
I shoulda known when you sent me under
I'm on my own and it made me wonder
[Chorus]
What do you do when a man don't love you?
He takes the sun from the sky above you
How do you fix the damage?
How do you break the habit?
I never knew you could be so savage
[Post-Chorus]
(So savage)
I never knew you could be so...
[Verse 2]
So just say it like you mean it
Won't you scream it out like it's religion?
You were the priest and the prophet
You were my scripture and my conviction
[Pre-Chorus]
But when you hung up the phone and you blocked my number
I was alone in the rain and thunder
I shoulda known by the void I'm under
I'm on my own and it makes me wonder
[Chorus]
What do you do when a man don't love you?
He takes the sun from the sky above you
How do you fix the damage?
How do you break the habit?
I never knew you could be so savage
[Post-Chorus]
(So savage)
I never knew you could be so savage (So savage)
(So savage)
[Bridge]
Oh, in a flash flood of cruelty
You washed the ground out from under me
And oh, when you were through with me
I was swept away
[Chorus]
What do you do when a man don't love you?
He takes the sun from the sky above you
How do you fix the damage?
How do you break the habit?
I never knew you could be so savage
[Post-Chorus]
You could be so savage
You could be so savage
(So savage)
[Outro]
I never knew you could be so savage
