Unlearn You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a plate of pink cupcakes
To sugarcoat the aftertaste
But the blue, it floods my eyes
Your hands grip mine
My tongue still ties for you

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh, and I'm back in black again
I know it's a touch I can't forget
Words that burn me like a cigarette

[Chorus]
Can I cross you out and unlearn you
From my body?

[Verse 2]
I didn't ever wear a dress
In case you'd thought I was asking for it
In my speech, my moves, my eyes
You stay disguised, I'm back to a child

[Chorus]
Can I cross you out and unlearn you?
Oh, wash that memory and unlearn you
From my body

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh, and I'm back in black again
I know it's a touch I can't forget
Words that burn me like a cigarette

[Chorus]
Can I cross you out and unlearn you
From my body?

What have the artists said about the song?

I feel like a very large majority of women have experienced some form of sexual abuse. And so for me, it’s just an honest encounter with that, and it’s about the work that happens afterwards. And that can last a lifetime. But as long as the work’s being done, and I’m unlearning, then I am not becomi...

What have the artists said about the song

I don’t know how I managed to get that one out. I had the lyric, “unlearn you from my body”, and I was interested in how, when you break up with someone, you still have phrases that you share and so you have to unlearn them.

Then when I started to write the melody, I realised what I’m really trying...

What have the artists said about the song?

There’s a line in this song: ‘Got a plate of pink cupcakes to sugarcoat the aftertaste.’ When I came out about something that happened to me to do with abuse, I was taken to a cupcake shop. The cupcakes were literally to sugarcoat the aftertaste. The scariest line is ‘I didn’t ever wear a dress in c...
