Purgatory

(album: Smiling Like An Idiot - 2022)

I say yes when I should say nothing
I say nothing when I should say no
It was obvious it was time to quit
But I just had the urge to go
So I'm the idiot tryna act oblivious
Made my was across town looking for you
They told me "Sorcha, you don't know when to call it a night"
Maybe I'll prove it true

A broken heart is gory, baby, lay with me in purgatory
Don't you know that we could be so unhappy here?
What's another dead night, waiting for the red light?
Why is love making us so unhappy?

Sitting on the white wall, watching as the boys fall
From their boards a tar-macadam kiss on the lips
Well there's an afterparty here in the carpark, baby
Don't you care where I am, even just a little bit?
Idiot tryna act oblivious
Made my way across town looking for you
I got it in my head, "it's okay to wake the dead"
Maybe I'll prove it true

A broken heart is gory, baby, lay with me in purgatory
Don't you know that we could be so unhappy here?
What's another dead night, waiting for the red light?
Why is love making us so unhappy?
A broken heart is gory, baby, lay with me in purgatory
Don't you know that we could be so unhappy here?
What's another long night, waiting for the dog bite?
Why is love making us so unhappy?

We don't have to say a word about it
Baby, we could smile and show our teeth
We could stay forever if you wanted
Baby, we don't ever have to grieve

A broken heart is gory, baby, lay with me in purgatory
Don't you know that we could be so unhappy here?
What's another dead night, waiting for the red light?
Why is love making us so unhappy?
A broken heart is gory, baby, lay with me in purgatory
Don't you know that we could be so unhappy here?
What's another long night, waiting for the dog bite?
Why is love making us so unhappy?

We could stay forever if you wanted
Baby, we don't ever have to grieve
