Stunner
Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip Lyrics

I know it sounds weird
I'm aware it might sound strange

I do want you to look back on this and smile but
I want you to remember this moment fondly

I kinda want that smile to be through tears
I want you to feel emotional when you remember this moment

I ain't shoutin at ya - I'm shouting to ya
I'm not yelling out of anger, I'm yelling to get your attention

Hello darkness (my old friend) let's turn you into filthy lucre
I want to turn my struggles into something profitable

And suture wounds and tumors with dark humor mixed with hubris
I cope with my pain by making jokes and being overconfident

In lieu of future suitors with a blast of nasty rumors
Instead of attracting new prospective partners with rumors

Seems the light at the end of the tunnel was a fire
What seemed like a solution ended up being something harmful

Now I'm choking on the smoke in my lungs, I'm so tired
Now I'm struggling and exhausted

But I can't go to sleep with a mind that's so wired
I can't calm down enough to fall asleep

You call that shit depression - I call it inspired
You label my struggles as depression, but I see it as motivation

Talk is cheap when you speak the weak prose you're throwing
Your words are not valuable when you're not putting effort into them

You're just a sheep in a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing's clothing
You're pretending to be something you're not

And the holes ain't closing, just exposing goatskin
The problems are not getting solved, only revealing what's underneath

This corrosion shows you can't control the motion
The issues cannot be contained or controlled

Shit, the romance is dead? Blame the hopeless romantics
The reason relationships may not work out is because of people who have unrealistic expectations

Resigned to hopelessness their romantic plans with sycophantics
Having given up hope, their plans are insincere and self-serving

So I won't put the nice things we do on YouTube
I'm not doing nice things for attention or validation from others

Don't need the world the world to love me - I just need you to
I only seek validation from you, not from everyone else

The world don't revolve around you but it should
Everyone should be the center of their own world

I ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good
You may not be flawless, but you're excellent in your own way

Ain't saying I love ya but I probably could
I am not saying I love you, but I might be able to

I thought it was love but I was wrong
I believed it was love, but I was mistaken

Tortured a dove just to prove Prince wrong - I love that song
I acted cruelly just to defy the message in Prince's song

I guess you broke my heart but it kinda needed breaking
You hurt me, but it might have been for the best

And the grating exasperatings hating's already dissipating
The hurtful grudges and anger are slowly fading away

"Love..it's a weird thing ain't it?" You're fucking right it is
Love is indeed strange

Enlightened by the disquiet sight, I kinda like this shit
The upsetting experience has given me some newfound appreciation

We fall in love with that which we project on each other
We tend to love the version of ourselves we see in others

Then settle for reality or just reject one another
We either accept our differences or choose to end the relationship

So I respect the motherfucker that reflects upon their lover
I admire those who think about their partner's needs and feelings

And then lets them walk away or resurrects and recovers
And then either breaks up with them or works to fix the relationship

Way more than I respect those that just close up the shutters
More than those who give up or refuse to communicate

And ignore the shitty shell within which both of them suffers
And pretend the problems don't exist, even though both are struggling

I wore my heart on my sleeve and you stole my fucking shirt
I was vulnerable with you and you took advantage of that

But go ahead and wear that shit - happiness of the absurd
But go ahead and have your fun, even if it's ridiculous

These words divert the hurt and send me soundly to sleep
Writing these lyrics helps me cope and get some rest

But every word I wrote I meant so fucking read 'em and weep
But each line was written sincerely, so take them to heart
