Scarlett Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said, "Darling, will we go the distance?"
In such blissful ignorance
Couldn't hit more, like a bolt from the blue
And hate me— If you're gonna hate me
But just say it plainly with everything lately
I just need the truth
(Looking back)
[Pre-Chorus]
We go together, like bad British weather
On the one day I made plans
So go hell for leather
And know that it's out of my hands
Go ahead now
[Chorus]
'Cause I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your namе
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I will show myself out
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I know I adore you
I don't need you now
[Verse 2]
I said, "Darling, will we go thе distance?"
As I stood there, pouring my heart out
With you just completely unfazed
[Pre-Chorus]
And you said, "Scarlett, I don't need to be responsible
For everything you're feeling
You're emotional grim reaper, I feel bad for you
I can't entertain these games
Hate to rain on your parade
It's just the way I'm feeling
It's just the way I'm feeling"
[Chorus]
'Cause I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your name
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I will show myself out
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I know I adore you
I don't need you now
[Post-Chorus]
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
I don't need you now
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
[Chorus]
'Cause I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your name
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I will show myself out
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I know I adore you
I don't need you now

What did Holly Humberstone say about "Scarlett"?
This track is my absolute fav, it’s a f*ck you to the guy that was going out with my bestie Scarlett and was written as they were breaking up. The relationship was totally one sided Scarlett was all in & had pretty much planned their future & it was pretty clear to me that he was stringing h...
What has Holly said about the song's video?
I rly love the video for this track too, obviously the song is about Scarlett so she had to be in the video – especially after being named an ‘emotional grim reaper’ lol. The two of us break into an airport hanger, steal and spray paint an arctic truck, then I perform on the back of it as Scar drive...
What have the artists said about the song?
This song is different from the other tracks, because it’s like, ‘Actually, I’m so much better off without you. I’m not dependent on anyone.’ I wrote this when Scarlett was starting to feel hopeful and see herself the way that I had been seeing her the whole time: as her own person without this rela...
