Basement Lyrics by Kylie Muse

2024

[Verse 1]
I've been oversharing feelings to the diary
I write 'em in (Mm-mm)
About the things that I can't say
But I just don't know how to keep 'em in (Mm)

[Pre-Chorus]
On the surface we looked perfect
Think our love is out of service
Once expired you can't return it
I still love you, you're just not my person

[Chorus]
Where did we go wrong?
What do we have left?
All of the love, love that we had
It's locked in the basement
Where do we go now?
Where do wе go next?
All of the love, lovе that we had
It's locked in the basement

[Post-Chorus]
Locked in, locked in
Locked in the basement
All the love we had, can't get it back
It's locked in the basement

[Verse 2]
Thought they'd be wrong 'bout us
"You're way too young, you can't call it love"
"Two years, then you'll break up"
"Just give it time, it won't mean too much"
They were wrong about one thing (Mm)
Sure as hell was something

[Pre-Chorus]
On the surface we looked perfect
Think our love is out of service
Once expired you can't return it
I still love you, you're just not my person

[Chorus]
Where did we go wrong?
What do we have left?
All of the love, love that we had
It's locked in the basement
Where do we go now?
Where do we go next?
All of the love, love that we had
It's locked in the basement

[Bridge]
I gave you what you want
Gave you everything you needed
I see the chemistry
And you just couldn't feel it
It made more sense to leave
But baby I just couldn't do it
So you did what's best for us
Called it off and left me ruined
And if it's meant to be
Then why you loving me in secret?
I take the memories of us
As I jump off the deep end
I'm sinking to the bottom
Me and you and all our problems
Gave you the best of me
Now you're the death of me

[Chorus]
Where did we go wrong?
What do we have left?
All of the love, love that we had
It's locked in the basement
Where do we go now?
Where do we go next?
All of the love, love that we had
It's locked in the basement

[Post-Chorus]
Locked in, locked in
Locked in the basement
All the love we had, can't get it back
It's locked in the basement
Locked in, locked in
Locked in the basement
All the love we had, can't get it back
It's locked in the basement
