The song ‘Scarlette’ is a recount of an abusive relationship that the writer was apart of with an apparently sadistic woman by the same name

[Verse 1]
Scarlette, did you know that you're the one?
The one that raised the fucking sun
I missed the train to wait for you
Stood all night to make things right
[Chorus]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Don't recall the reason why
[Verse 2]
Scarlette, please don't talk that way
I can't stand to hear you say:
"Think of me when I'm not here
Don't doubt me if I'm insincere"
[Chorus]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Don't recall the reason why
[Bridge]
My head don't hurt no more
After you slammed it in the door
You nearly murdered me!
Left me lying on the floor
[Interlude]
You know that I know that you know that I know
You know that I know that you know that I know
[Bridge]
This is a lunatic project
This is a lunatic project
[Verse 3]
Scarlette, was it meaningless?
Scarlette, was I prey?
Did you like the way I looked at you
When you walked away?
[Chorus]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Don't recall the reason why
