Weekends (Live at Apollo)

[Intro]
And I don't really have friends
Don't go out on weekends
I don't have a lover left to hold
Friday night, I'm alone, sat at the piano
Thinking about the ex I shouldn't call

[Verse 1]
You say, "Now I see, you busy
Out and living the wildest of dreams
With new friends, new cities"
But now inside my heart wants to scream

[Pre-Chorus]
Where's the love that I knew we ignited?
Darkness in me and I learned how to hide it
Made you believe that I'm happier like this
No, no

[Chorus]
I don't really have friends
Don't go out on weekends
I don't have a lover left to hold
Friday night, I'm alone, sat at the piano
Thinking about the ex I shouldn't call
I'm sipping on storms in teacups
You're thinking I'm drunk in some pub
With people that I hardly know
But I'm so fucking lonely, no one really knows me
You are still a heart I want to hold

[Verse 2]
You turn, say to me, you're happy
And you're actually seeing somebody
And you're both so proud of me
Inside my heart starts to scream

[Pre-Chorus]
Where's the love that I know we ignited?
Fire in me and I learned how to light it
Made you believe I was happier like this
No, no

[Chorus]
I don't really have friends
Don't go out on weekends
I don't have a lover left to hold
Friday night, I'm alone, sat at the piano
Thinking about the ex I shouldn't call
I'm sipping on storms in teacups
You're thinking I'm drunk in some pub
With people that I hardly know
But I'm so fucking lonely, no one really knows me
You are still a heart I want to hold

[Bridge]
We had a love that never died
You were my world and on my side
From bright as day to dark as night
You look at me and ask me why

[Chorus]
I don't really have friends
Don't go out on weekends
I don't have a lover left to hold
Friday night, I'm alone, sat at the piano
Thinking about the love we used to know
I'm sipping on storms in teacups
You're thinking I'm drunk in some pub
With people that I hardly know
But I'm so fucking lonely, no one really knows me
You are still a heart I want, heart I want to hold

[Spoken Outro]
Good evening Hammersmith Apollo, how are you doing?
My name is Freya Ridings and it has been far too long since we have seen you London
You're my hometown, my home crowd, and we're so grateful to be back after four years
Thank you so much for spending your Friday the 13th with us
And for braving coming out
I feel like so much has happened in the last four years since I last stood on this stage in front of you
And I'm so excited to take you on the Blood Orange journey
This is the Blood Orange tour, thank you so much for coming
As you can hear in "Weekends", it was in quite a dark place
And the journey through the ups and downs is the one we're going to take you on tonight
And this next song is definitely not about stalking your ex around the supermarket in lockdown
