Grapes Lyrics by James Marriott

Bitter Tongues

2022

[Verse 1]
Five years you've been with him
Could you tell me whose time are you wasting?
The fruit's gone blue
The well's gone dry
She's breaking twenty-two asking, "Who am I?"
Commiserating
In two blinks she's on to the next fling
That's all it took to say goodbye
He scrambles for the hook but she's off the line

[Pre-Chorus]
She's been waiting for the chance
Maybe she's never lived
She told him she wouldn't leave
Then she did

[Chorus]
Hе's not smiling with his eyes again
She said hе doesn't want her, he just needs a friend
(He's only getting nervous now the rope is being severed)
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?
She's laughing when he's not around
He begs for her attention when he's feeling down
(She only reaches for him when he's underneath the weather)
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?

[Verse 2]
He always cared, but he's had enough
'Cause all this constant fighting doesn't feel like us
He knows it's time to move on
She's been waiting for this moment for so long
She never shared why she felt so rough
She broke another heart so she could fall in love
She doesn't give a shit if it sounds wrong
She's fucking city boys to her favourite song

[Pre-Chorus]
She's been waiting for the chance
Maybe she's never lived
She told him she wouldn't leave
Then she did

[Chorus]
And maybe he wanted more
Imagine the look on her face
If he's sleeping on the floor
It seems he's found his place
There's no point in him anymore
She needs to find some space
Tripping out of the backdoor
He says

[Bridge]
"I fell for someone new
But she's just another girl that looks like you
What's love if it's not true?
It's just another girl that looks like you"

[Chorus]
He's not smiling with his eyes again
She said he doesn't want her, he just needs a friend
(He's only getting nervous now the rope is being severed)
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?
She's laughing when he's not around
He begs for her attention when he's feeling down
(She only reaches for him when he's underneath the weather)
Did nobody ever tell you grapes are better in September?

[Outro]
I fell for someone new
But she's just another girl that looks like you
What's love if it's not true?
It's just another girl that looks like you
