Haunted House

I wrote The Walls Are Way Too Thin about a time in my life where I felt like i’d lost control of where I was heading and struggling a little with finding my place in the world. It was a very strange period, I’d just moved to London away from my family and all of a sudden everything that I knew to be normal had changed completely. I moved on a whim into this little dingy room. I met some cool people but this place was pretty lonely and claustrophobic. I’m such an awkward person and even though I really liked my housemates I still felt worried about small talk in the kitchen or passing each other in the corridors. I had some fun times there, but I felt like I was mostly confined to my room whilst chaos was going on in the flats or streets around us. To avoid confronting how I was feeling I’d sneak out of the flat and go on train journeys to see my mates, get drunk, then come back hungover through the night or morning. I wrote most of Walls and the songs that come next on those trains. It was my place of therapy, in the middle of nowhere.

I wanted the music video to reflect how I felt stuck in my room with my own internal anxiety rising. The idea of being trapped in an air vent in a burning building came from that feeling of claustrophobia and panic that I felt throughout my time living in the flat. Shooting the video was chaotic, my elbows and knees look quite different now after 8 hours of crawling back and forth. The fire blast in the vent was totally real too !!

The Walls Are Way Too Thin

Please Don't Leave Just Yet

This track is my absolute fav, it’s a f*ck you to the guy that was going out with my bestie Scarlett and was written as they were breaking up. The relationship was totally one sided Scarlett was all in & had pretty much planned their future & it was pretty clear to me that he was stringing her along until breaking up. I was her closest confidant and so I knew everything she was feeling, and i'd see how passive he was with her at parties first hand. She vented to me for probably about a year and so I went through all the stages of a break up with her and watched as she slowly realised her worth and that he wasn’t worth her tears anymore 💘 I wanted to write this one from her point of view. It’s a pretty positive song as it’s about her finally letting go, realising his many faults and taking back her life 🤍🦋

I rly love the video for this track too, obviously the song is about Scarlett so she had to be in the video - especially after being named an ‘emotional grim reaper’ lol. The two of us break into an airport hanger, steal and spray paint an arctic truck, then I perform on the back of it as Scar drives it down the runway. It was honestly the most fun and so jokes. I was clinging on as I was being thrown about. If u look closely the guitar I throw off the truck is the same one from my very first video for Deep End and the banners were at my London shows at Omeara !!!! I really hope it feels as empowering to watch as it did to be on the back of it performing!! Loved how ironic the bad British weather line is when we got the nicest sunset going for the video. Hopefully u enjoy it 🤍xxxx

[Verse 1]
You said, "Darling, will we go the distance?"
In such blissful ignorance
Couldn't hit more, like a bolt from the blue
And hate me— If you're gonna hate me
But just say it plainly with everything lately
I just need the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
We go together, like bad British weather
On the one day I made plans
So go hell for leather, and know that it's out of my hands
Go ahead now
[Chorus]
'Cause I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your namе
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I will show myself out
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I know I adore you
I don't need you now

[Verse 2]
I said, "Darling, will we go thе distance?"
As I stood there, pouring my heart out
With you just completely unfazed

[Pre-Chorus]
And you said, "Scarlett, I don't need to be responsible for everything you're feeling
You're emotional grim reaper, I feel bad for you
I can't entertain these games, hate to rain on your parade
It's just the way I'm feeling
It's just the way I'm feeling"

[Chorus]
'Cause I cried all the summer away
Ooh, you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now, I'm drunk and screaming your name
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I will show myself out
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I know I adore you
I don't need you now

You were my home planet
You were my stars, my holy place
Hmm, but you took me for granted
Right from the start now, didn't you, babe?
And I
Wish you the best of luck in finding
Someone else who's strong enough
And I
This is the only time
I can't be keeping you from fucking up
So go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
But once you're gone, you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?
And if you've still got that fire
Then prove it to me
I was your life support machine
Didn't you realize it was always me?
I was always there to pick up the pieces (always me)
When you were a full-blown catastrophe, yeah
And I
Gave you the closest thing you ever had to love, so sober up
And this time
This is the final time I'll draw the line
I've suffered long enough
So go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
'Cause once you're gone, you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?
And if you've still got that fire
Then prove it to me, hm
Can you sleep without me?
Can you breathe without me?
Don't you need somebody?
Can you? (Need somebody, somebody)
Hmm, I wanna know, can you?
Can you sleep without me?
Can you breathe without me? (Can you afford to?)
Don't you need somebody?
Can you? (Somebody)
Go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
Once you're gone, you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?

Can You Afford To Lose Me?

I am carrying roses to you
So many flowers you’re going to need a bigger room to fit them in
To fit them in
I am burying the things that hurt you
I’m digging holes in the garden babe, I made a tomb to put them in
Everything
And some day
We’ll look around to see we’ve lived another year
Some day
I’ll fill the calendar with plans for you my dear
We’ll get room service
We’ll get room service
Where no one can reach us
Darling we’ll blow up the speakers
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
I am pining to be next to you
Just to get drunk, passing out in early afternoon from alcohol
From alcohol
We’ll take a trip to a place with a view
But stay inside, watch the TV cause the local news is always on
There’s nothing wrong
And some day
We’ll look around to see we’ve lived another year
Some day
I’ll fill the calendar with plans for you my dear
We’ll get room service
We’ll get room service
Where no one can reach us
Darling we’ll blow up the speakers
Cause you’ve lost too much sleep for one lifetime
Promise me you’ll keep out housekeeping
Tonight
We’ll get room service
We’ll get room service
Where no one can reach us
Darling we’ll blow up the speakers
Blow up the speakers
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Mmmmm

Am I the antichrist?
How do I sleep at night?
Just need to escape my mind
I guess it figures
I wanna fix you honey
I wanna keep you closer
But with all my toxicity
You get a little too much exposure
I’ll be the first to admit
I kind of fucked this darling, didn’t I?
Did I use your body?
Did I leave you broken?
You know it didn’t take much to break your trust,
The dice was loaded
So, come on give me hell, cause heaven knows I deserve it
It chills my bones to know you’re suffering
Am I the antichrist?
How do I sleep at night?
Just need to escape my mind
I guess it figures
Cause I gave you bad love only
Gave you bad love only
I made a real mess of this honey, so you should run for your life
I gave you bad love, bad love, bad love
So you say we should talk in the morning, tape up the cracks in the porcelain
When we met you were delicate, should have handled with care,
You were rare my darling
So let me make this clear, I’m the only problem here
I’m the problem
Am I the antichrist?
How do I sleep at night?
Just need to escape my mind
I guess it figures
Cause I gave you bad love only
Gave you bad love only
I made a real mess of this honey, so you should run for your love
I gave you bad love, bad love, bad love
Cause I gave you bad love only
Gave you bad love only
Gave you bad love only
Gave you bad love only
