𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐲 ( 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 )

Rose Colored Lens

Written: April 11th, 2024

Genre: Funk/Disco-pop

Alright, so I've been songwriting a lot lately, really quick in under an hour or so. The ideas won't quit coming, and with this one I had 'bye' by Ariana and 'Feather' + 'Read Your Mind' by Sabrina in mind. That's what came to mind as soon as I started writing the first lines. It was surely a range of emotions, and I'm playing deep into the 'I was never innocent to begin with' villain role I've been writing from since March.

Disclaimer that this is an explicit song with three swear words in it. I know I haven't really written songs with swearing in it in a looong while and it may catch you offguard, asking yourself whether this is a 2024 Clara song after all or whether my evil twin has taken over 😂

( I'm listening to actual 70's disco pop songs now, help- iT's sO gRoOvY aNd bOpPy, tHUrSdAy NiGHt fEvEr!! Literally 4 months away from my bday today, ahhh 🤪) 

SPOKEN INTRO:

Honestly like, I can't with you anymore, so...bye

1ST VERSE:

And I'm doing it again, pouring my heart out at your own expense

I'm through viewing you through rose colored lens

It's obvious... uh, no it's not

If I'm being honest, I've stretched this out too long

Inflicted through my veins is false delusions

Forgot to trust my inner intuition

And inflamed, I fall lovesick

Put the fire out, all I am now is ashes

CHORUS:

Throw me off a ditch

Burn the witch high at stake

My love's a bitch, curating mistake

So strike a match, light me up

Engulf the flame, I've become too much

I'm gone, I'm gone

Strike a match, light me up

We're done, we're done

Bye bye, love

2ND VERSE:

No rebound, it's too profound

Out the door, no one sticks around

Warped in my hell, I tell myself

That you're oblivious as fuck

We're out of luck, screw digging up proof

To show you it's love ( in that sense )

If for you, it's never enough

I've become too tense, we can't be friends

But losing you would be my biggest regret

CHORUS:

Throw me off a ditch

Burn the witch high at stake

My love's a bitch, curating mistake

So strike a match, light me up

Engulf the flame, I've become too much

I'm gone, I'm gone

Strike a match, light me up

We're done, we're done

Bye bye, love

BRIDGE:

I'll play the villain just to get this shit out of my system

I've fallen ill, I've fallen lovesick

Sorry for hurting you by writing this

I was never innocent to begin with

CHORUS:

Throw me off a ditch

Burn the witch high at stake

My love's a bitch, curating mistake

So strike a match, light me up

Engulf the flame, I've become too much

I'm gone, I'm gone

Strike a match, light me up

We're done, we're done

Bye bye, love
