Lorde - Writer In The Dark Lyrics






Break the news - you're walking out
To be a good man for someone else
Sorry I was never good like you
Stood on my chest and kept me down
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
Did my best to exist just for you

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

I still feel you, now and then
Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
When you see me, will you say I've changed?
I ride the subway, read the signs
I let the seasons change my mind
I love it here since I've stopped needing you

Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

  25. T.... ....

    KTO OD WSTAŁY?? (":

  26. #.... S....

    i hate songs about love / break ups but when Lorde sings them, there's something different about them ; her voice alters the way that love songs register in my brain and its something magnificent

  27. A.... d....

    Sasha Velour brought me here

  28. S.... y....

    Kto z filmu wstały?

    S.... y....

    @Katherine taak

    S.... y....

    ja, tyle tego szukałam

  29. �.... ....

    Her music is so beautiful she needs to make more

  30. m.... v....

    They misunderstood her symbolism. This is an album about loneliness cloaked like a compendium of break-up songs.

  31. j.... a....

    I swear this song could've been on Kate's Never for Ever album. it fits it so well...

  32. A.... ....

    this is so underrated and dark i love it

  33. N.... M....

    değerin ne zaman bilinecek ya

    I’ll love you till you call the cops on me❤️

  37. E.... L....

    Love this song

  38. E.... L....

    Love this song

  39. A.... H....

    I’m drunk and hungover and I fucked a guy I thought was cute and I feel slutty. I snuck out and floated in the bay water and watched the sunrise listening to this song and it’s something I’ll always remember

  40. S.... ....

    When she said “I’ll love you til you call the cops on me”, I really felt that.

  41. n.... b....

    I’ll love you till you call the cops on me :(

  42. n.... ....

    she sounds so much like kate bush when she sings higher. the whole thing is so beautiful though <3

  43. F.... D....

    lorde's so talented <3

  44. F.... D....

    this song is beautiful. gave me chills!

  45. A.... H....

    Thank you for this song. I needed it

  46. T.... H....

    "I'll love you till my breathing stops" And "I'll find a way to be without you, babe" Hit hard

    T.... H....

    it's really of love. we all this way

  47. L.... L....

    5754709... APOLLO LOVES IT !

    L.... L....

    ブルックナー: 交響曲 第9番 ニ短調 カラヤン 1975...

  48. G.... ....

    For whatever reason, 2:02-2:06 gave me actual chills

  49. c.... f....

    the chorus made me so emotional... i almost cried

  50. T.... V....

    Billie eilish is like the copycat of Lorde. Can't get my mind of how similar their voices

  51. u.... s....

    Who stay in love, and feel this song running in your veins and fleeting of your brains

  52. C.... G....

    We must protecc this girl at any cost

  53. a.... ....

    She kinda sounds like Kate Bush in some moments, i love it

  54. F.... ....

    I woke up at 3 am and this song was playing. Hearing this song that late and having it be the only sound in my house saved my soul

  55. A.... P....

    Everything about this song is so unlike the rest of them out there. It really hits those idealistic thoughts. And I love it

  56. S.... C....

    2019 anyone??

  57. a.... r....

    *_I’ll love you till my breathing stops_*

  58. p.... c....

    " i'll love you til the day you call the cops on me "
    " i am my mothers child, i'll love you til my breathing stops "
    i love those two.




    don't know why.
    edit: this song just got so much more sadder after watching five feet apart i feel like it fits it alot

  59. b.... ....

    *now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart* :)

  60. �.... ....

    I'll find a way to be without you, babe🙃

  61. G.... M....

    that chorus is straight up kate bush

  62. C.... W....

    This is my favorite song!

  63. e.... x....

    a masterpiece.😔

  64. k.... s....

    Why has this not got more views? Might be the best song Lorde has ever released

    k.... s....

    kieran s | agreed, possibly because this is a fan account and not lorde’s official channel

  65. F.... C....

    Lorde is the only good mainstream artist I like. Real talent.

  66. A.... B....

    Fvck. This was classic. Made me cry 😭

  67. M.... D....

    Well, I’m back, ms. Lorde, why am I crying in the club?

  68. L.... S....

    Hoy es el día de: deprimirse con Lorde

  69. A.... B....

    I think Lorde is so creative that In my opinion the cover of the album represents a painting of her. But researching more, the painting of Melodrama represents the grafic representation of the depressed brain of a sick patient. The darkest blue sections have a low activity of neurotransmitters, the red section represents a high activity in the parts that control the negative feelings and emotions like anger, fear and sadness. The yellow parts of Lorde represent a healthy and positive activity of neurotransmitters, that is the normal cerebral activity of a healthy and not depressed person. The darkest background on the Top of the cover represents the mental health, depression, anxiety and stress. I made this conclusion because this record talks about the positive and negative parts of the lonelyness. Talks about depression, anxiety, insecurities, the best and worst memories of a Party in a house. Talks about friendship, love, the darkest part of love, the heartbrake, a melodramatic relationship that fails.

    A.... B....

    OH. MY. GOD. That’s brilliant!

    A.... B....

    WHAT THE FUUUU

    A.... B....

    This is the cringiest thing I've ever read.

    A.... B....

    I think it's because she has synesthesia and sees sounds as colors, and the cover is her physical representation of the color the album has.

    A.... B....

    @raspberry then this just makes it even more beautiful and amazing. the fact that she sees these colors for the album and they match perfectly what op just said is... you know? ugh and i thought i couldnt love this album more

  70. C.... E....

    I only just realised this song is about the first boy i ever loved, i moved cities and hated being without him so i used to go back only to find out he’d found another, i have moved on but there will always he a place for him in my heart

    C.... E....

    Everything about this resonates with me, i kept myself alive for you and i found a secret power to be without you but i will love you until my breathing stops, sorry just my little bit of peace writing this out

  71. M.... M....

    so beautiful

  72. T.... H....

    I'm scared to type this because I don't wanna be the only one who pictures Chloe Grace Moretz singing this while listening to a Lorde song. 😶😶

  73. I.... h....

    The first verse. I felt that.

  74. T.... B....

    Definitely the most underrated beautiful song by Lorde

  75. t.... j....

    Now that’s some good depression

  76. P.... M....

    it's 3:36

  77. X.... M....

    been listening to it for a long time cuz it is really tough time for me. her voice is so comforting. its like singing a lullaby to me by my bedside though its really a sad song

  78. r.... ....

    Underfuckingrated

  79. K.... ....

    Kate Bush vibes

  80. W.... M....

    omg, this song is so ... I can't even describe it :O jeez ...
