Delete Forever Lyrics – Grimes

    Produced by Grimes
    Album Miss Anthropocene (Deluxe)

    [Verse 1]

    Lying so awake, things I can’t escape
    Lately, I just turn ’em into demons
    Flew into the sun, fucking heroin
    Lately, I just turn ’em into reasons and excuses

    [Pre-Chorus]

    Always down when I’m not up, guess it’s just my rotten luck
    To fill my time with permanent blue
    But I can’t see above it, guess I fucking love it
    But, oh, I didn’t mean to

    [Chorus]

    I see everything, I see everything
    Don’t you tell me now that I don’t want it
    But I did everything, I did everything
    More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (Woo)

    [Verse 2]

    Funny how they think us naive when we’re on the brink
    Innocence was fleeting like a season
    Cannot comprehend, lost so many men
    Lately, all their ghosts turn into reasons and excuses

    [Pre-Chorus]

    Always down when I’m not up, guess it’s just my rotten luck
    To fill my time with permanent blue
    But I can’t see above it, guess I fucking love it
    But, oh, I didn’t mean to

    [Chorus]

    I see everything, I see everything
    Don’t you tell me now that I don’t want it
    But I did everything, I did everything
    More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (Woo)

    [Chorus]

    I see everything, I see everything
    Don’t you tell me now that I don’t want it
    But I did everything, I did everything
    More lines on the mirror than a sonnet
