LYRICS:
You say to get a thicker skin
But only in the right places
You say I need to get a grip
But you’re making money off my demons

Everyone tells me, “No, don’t speak
Can I see a smile? They’re waiting.”
They’re saying, “Thank God we made it.”
But was it worth what we traded?

I would've died for you
But that’s not the worst thing
I would’ve died for you
And you would’ve let me
With nothing left to use
You think that you own me
Like I would die for you
Like I would die for you
Why would I die for you?

You say there’s just another girl
Waiting in line to take my place
No, she’s not even 20, hasn’t been burned
‘til she gets closer to the flame

Everyone tells her, “No, don’t speak
Can I see a smile? They’re waiting.”
They’re saying, “Thank God we made it.”
But was it worth what we traded?

I would've died for you
But that’s not the worst thing
I would’ve died for you
And you would’ve let me
With nothing left to use
You think that you own me
Like I would die for you
Like I would die for you
Why would I die for you?

They don’t see the things you do
Behind the doors you opened that I walked through
They don’t see the things you do
But I know now

Everyone tells me, “No, don’t speak
Can I see a smile? They’re waiting.”
I’m saying, “Thank God I made it.”
It wasn’t worth what I traded?

I would've died for you
But that’s not the worst thing
I would’ve died for you
And you would’ve let me

With nothing left to use
You think that you own me
Like I would die for you
Like I would die for you
Why would I die for you?

Someday

Good At Feeling Bad

Two Of Us

The heart of singer-songwriter Mariel Loveland has always been her DIY spirit. As a teenage poet, she taught herself guitar in an attempt to put her words to music, writing her first songs in the margins of her notebook during math class. Not long after, with little more than a rusted-out van and a handful of home recordings, the songwriter hit the road with Candy Hearts, a wide-eyed punk band rooted in early ‘00s nostalgia.  

Within two short years, Candy Hearts went from playing in basements across the East Coast to sharing the stage with pop punk heavyweights like Man Overboard, New Found Glory, and Weezer. Math class became MTV and the microphones she set up in her mother’s basement became an LA recording studio. After a stint on Vans Warped Tour, Loveland found herself wondering: what happens after your childhood dreams come true? It turns out, you start all over again. Enter: Best Ex. 

With her solo endeavor, Loveland has managed to maintain the diary-like introspection and biting sarcasm of previous releases, swapping out energetic guitars for fuzzed-out synths and dreamy acoustics. Her previous two EPs—Ice Cream Anti-Social (2017) and Good At Feeling Bad (2020)—were met with critical acclaim from publications like Billboard and Alternative Press, even landing airplay on BBC Radio 1. After inking a new record deal, Loveland is currently supporting Best Ex’s full-length debut. 

'With a Smile' is out now via Iodine Records (US) and Alcopop Records (UK).
