duct tape // f major (slower, kylie cantrall space between tempo) INTRO: Hi! My Scratch name is Ally, on this account it happens to be Charlie because this is my backup "if anything goes wrong/at all costs" account. Singing and songwriting have been my passion since a very young age, and I am so glad I am able to share this project with you. Enjoy! ----------------------------- Written on: 08/06/26 ----------------------------- BACKGROUND: This song was written in the context of me feeling let down from a past relationship that consumed me and didn't let me breathe unless it was convenient for him. Then after four months, he let me go and rejected me, then kept crawling back into my life randomly. I had no self confidence, so I spent more time with this douche. This song is about regretting your past decisions and wishing they could see their own destructive behavior. Thank you & don't be afraid to give feedback!
LYRICS: [VERSE1] I’ve got whispers coming from both sides I’ve got memories locked down behind my eyes It seems like I’ve failed you, I’m still trying To show you that I’m here, waiting for you [CHORUS] Greatly appreciate it Mixed up your love and hatred Deep thoughts and conversations Made me more mature I see you every day now And it just lets me down I always knew I was the Duct tape, baby But you choose the scissors [VERSE2] I’ve lost everything since that one night When you had the choice and you chose to let me down I still remember clearly everything you said to me Like I was something worthless and not the prize, oh [CHORUS] Greatly appreciate it Mixed up your love and hatred Deep thoughts and conversations Made me more mature I see you every day now And it just lets me down I always knew I was the Duct tape, baby But you choose the scissors [POST-CHORUS] Oh, oh, no Oh oh oh oh oh Oh, oh, no [BRIDGE] And you couldn’t be bothered to feel Empathy for what you did And I was holding on to pieces Of myself in the shipwreck Never knew how much I clung to you until then I chased away your demons until then [CHORUS] (softer) Greatly appreciate it Mixed up your love and hatred Deep thoughts and conversations Made me more mature I see you every day now And it just lets me down I always knew I was the Duct tape, baby But you choose the scissors
