Lyrics:
London twenty twenty, boy and a girl broke up yeah
it’s two a penny
And I been tryna make a big step forward, saw you it
was awkward, nothing like I thought would happen
happened
I was so in love, and that don’t come off in the wash,
kinda hope it does though, coz you’re seeing someone
pretty and I hate her guts so I’ll be telling you she’s
nice on the bus home
We were bad but we’re gonna be good
It didn’t work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I’m honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I’d swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and
petty and lying
At least I’m trying, at least I’m trying, at least I’m trying
Three shots, lemon drops, one for being lost and alone
in your early twenties, one for being obsessed with
someone who puts you secondary, one for calling
guys with guitars in a cemetery, just me? Ok
If I’m being frank, I want a sorry but I’ll settle for a
handshake, coz I’m the baby but I’m gonna be the
bigger man babe
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking
house
We were bad but we’re gonna be good
It didn’t work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I’m honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I’d swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and
petty and lying
But at least I’m trying, at least I’m trying
Not friends, no we’re somewhere in between
Coz you’re awful and I miss you and I killed you
in my dream
Last night, even then you didn’t care
It’s a low when even in my dreams you still don’t
want me there
Got friends, got at least a healthy five
Yeah some people think I’m funny, baby don’t look
so surprised
We think, that your girlfriend is a bore
But we’re nice to her in public coz we’re grown up
and mature
Not friends, coz when I asked you on the train
why you hurt me and you couldn’t really actually
explain, I cried, then I told you it was cool,
God you haven’t changed at all
We were bad but we’re gonna be good
It didn’t work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I’m honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I’d swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well I might be bitter and twisted and broken and
petty and lying
And you might be awful like all of the time, yeah it’s
almost inspiring
But at least I’m trying, at least I’m trying, at least
I’m trying

[@maura3771]

"Even in my dreams you still don't want me there" hit so hard and then came, "some people think I´m funny, baby don't look so surprised" and mended me with a smile.

[@risakoiscoolwithm]

You forgot still.

[@geegeezlouis86]

This bridge is Swiftian and I'm obsessed with the emotion in "you couldn't actually explain"

[@taliw7736]

😍😍😍

[@mr.batman_xoxo.]

yaaass im a swiftie too and i love that this reminds me of Queen Tay a bit

[@orangepink7636]

Love the roast "you might be awful like all of the time, yeah it's almost inspiring".
Petty and cute song about a realistic situation.
Closure is not always an option most of the time people have to learn to be okay with the situation/past.
It is often not worth it to turn old accounts, because awful people rarly change. Life goes on better without them.

[@aaliyahpatel2819]

How does she write lyrics THIS WELL?! Love how all her songs are relatable and savage at the same time! I live for the british humour and sarcasm she incorporates into her songs so well. God Maisie- I cant pick a fave song from this album- they’re all bops!

[@stainer_cc]

With a tad help from the great Ed Sheeran. Amazing writing on the album by both of them (and others including Snow Patrol)

[@christinamiller9134]

I don't know if people understand how hard a song like this is to sing well. It's difficult to be fast AND articulate and not run out of breath as well as bounce around so much with the notes without being sharp or flat

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Yeah except every rapper

[@christinamiller9134]

Singing is different than speaking. That's not to say good rapping isn't impressive; it's just a different thing.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

​@@christinamiller9134 Right, but Those differences aside, I am referring to the ways in which they are the same. There's quite a bit of overlap

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Which is not to downplay the impressiveness of this

[@christinamiller9134]

​@a.nobodys.nobody I can understand that- quick vocals and articulation overlap

[@benw9364]

"I resent you a little if im honest but one of us has gotta try and keep a promise" 👁👄👁 damn GO FOR THE THROATTT

[@jonathancunningham4159]

This song is catchy af.

[@imbee6455]

The "at least I'm trying" reminded me of "this is me trying" by Taylor Swift, but the vibe is completely different and I STAN. I love seeing how the same lyric could fit two completely different songs.

[@doctorwholover1012]

It's the way that Taylor's "this is me trying' is almost a mourning call, the way she sings it like a last resort before a breakdown, while Maisie sings 'at least I'm trying!' The way you'd snark at a friend while helping them move furniture, or sarcastically snap at someone slacking off 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it's about the ~vibes~

[@edensylvester13]

yes!

[@mr.batman_xoxo.]

yas a fellow swiftie

[@imbee6455]

@@mr.batman_xoxo. ofccc, *insert the evil Elmo meme*.

[@mr.batman_xoxo.]

@@imbee6455 LETS GOOO

[@shannon8808]

this is like god tier songwriting, reminds me of taylor swift's petty songs

[@christaacree9759]

Like better than revenge (not problematic version)

[@zminah_]

YES

[@caitlin_napha_cielo]

RUclips recommended me a video clip of the bridge of this song and I was immediately hooked in--
Best thing RUclips has recommended me in a very, very long time.
I'm so happy I found this!

[@shrutzsjsk5575]

Such an amazing song, I swear so underrated!! THE LYRICS*chefs kiss*

[@tmuller9905]

1:37 God that bridge sounds fabulous!

[@eclipsedragon479]

Hi Maisie, I know you probably won’t see this but I recently started listening to your music and I love it so much! It’s really helped me when I’m anxious, stressed or worried about anything. It puts a smile on my face instantly, gets me dancing and I just wanted to say thank you so much!!!

[@laralilly]

This song is so good, everyone saying it’s Swift-esque is so correct esp that bridge

[@catherinecharles7178]

Its the "almost inspiring" for me😭😂

[@abcdefg3368]

Why only 66 comments? This is a masterpiece that deserves only the highest praise!!! Sending love from the USA, Maisie! ❤️❤️❤️

[@thebookgoddess7380]

the bridge is EVERYTHING

[@yukiyoshida1226]

"And I killed you in my dreams" hits wayyyyy more different 😭😭❤❤❤ I love all of your songs, specially "psycho", cause I relate to that song wayyyy too much!😭😭❤❤❤❤

[@skylarwhitney3064]

Just heard a bit of this on Happy Valley - didnt know the song but recognised it was one of yours straight away

[@Oliver-b7j]

Same haha

[@Eddool6514]

Same - actually a really sweet moment with the innocence of the little girls dancing in the living room, blissfully unaware; cut to the pained face of their father embroiled in such darkness..

[@arai_tube]

Just a BIG WOW.
