Fucked it Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Turn off the lights
And roll down the window shades
We can't go outside
'Cause the world is hidden away
Ghosts are running wild
In these empty streets tonight
But here we are together, baby
Laying side by side

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't no sense
In making things worse
Let's hold on tight
And we'll try to break this curse

[Chorus]
'Cause we had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up
We had everything we needed
But it wasn't enough
And ain't it strange how we keep fallin'
In and out of love?
We had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up

See City and Colour Live

Get tickets as low as $56

[Verse 2]
Out on a line
Oh, so thin and frail
But that sparrow will stand
As if it could never fail
Drifting through the tide
In a ship without a sail
Oh, at the mercy of the ebb and the flow
Waitin' on our love to prevail

[Pre-Chorus]
And there ain't no sense
In making things worse
Let's hold on tight
And we'll try to break this curse

[Chorus]
'Cause we had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up
We had everything we needed
But it wasn't enough
And ain't it strange how we keep fallin'
In and out of love?
We had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up

[Instrumental Break]

[Breakdown]
We had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
We had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up
We had everything we needed
But it wasn't enough
Ain't it strange how we keep fallin'
In and out of love?
We had everything we wanted
Then we fucked it up

What did City and Colour say about "Fucked it Up"?

I wanted to write a playful song about the trials and tribulations of being in a relationship. When you are young, you’re sold on this idea of what life is supposed to be…get married, have kids, and live happily ever after. But that’s not real life. You change. Life evolves and you evolve with it. This song is for everyone who’s going through it.

What have the artists said about the song?

Dallas Green:

I really wanted to lean into writing a playful song about the trials and tribulations of being in a long-term relationship. I was thinking, ‘How do you answer the questions that arise?’ It’s almost impossible. So, let me try to put it into a three-and-a-half-minute song where you get to swear!
