Quarters

Dead

From Into The Rift2022

Written by Adrian Antrobus, Attila Anrather, Ben Roter

Lyrics

Dead

[Verse 1]

Old lover, you can be so condescending

Oh, you can be so awful now

D-d-don't you agree? Eh

[Pre-Chorus]

But do you remember all the memories we had?

Like after that long night, after the booze, after the sex

Oh, did you hear me whisper how I wanted you

[Chorus]

Dead?

Oh, how I wanted you dead

Oh, how I wanted you

Oh, how I wanted you dead

Oh, how I wanted you

[Verse 2]

Old lover, do you still think of me?

'Cause I still think of you, oh

Oh, you know that I do

Eh, eh, eh, and women, oh

Women will try and break you down

Will try and break into your heart right now, oh

D-d-don't you agree?

Well, wеll, well, well

[Bridge]

Ooh, I, mmm, gotta say

That you had your way

Produced by Quarters

And now, all that's left is

Thе truth that love's blind and deaf

Hit me

[Pre-Chorus]

But do you remember all the memories we had?

Like after the long night, after the booze, after the sex

Oh, did you hear me whisper how I wanted you

[Chorus]

Dead?

Oh, how I wanted you dead

Oh, how I wanted you

Oh, how I wanted you dead

Oh, how I wanted you dead

I wanted you dead

[Outro]

And in the morning, I'll be late

Because it always comes too late

And in the morning, I'll be late

Sweet rays around your face

And in the morning, I'll be late

The flowers wilt and die away

And there's no halo on my head

Because I wanted you
