Scripted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blurry TV screens
Fuzzy broken scenes
Finding words don't have flow
Blurry TV screens
Fuzzy broken scenes
Hold her close finding love

[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts don't feel the same
And the names we like to say
Change with time and age

[Chorus]
So I
I don't wanna say what's scripted
Whether you are or aren't with it
I know what I need
'Cause I
I don't wanna say what's scripted
Whether you are or aren't with it
I know what I need

[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts don't feel the same
And the names we like to say
Change with time and age
[Chorus]
So I
I don't wanna say what's scripted
Whether you are or aren't with it
I know what I need
'Cause I
I don't wanna say what's scripted
Whether you are or aren't with it
I know what I need

[Bridge]
You still remember my eyes
Even if the Men In Black flashed their light into your eyes

For the second time this night
It feels right, then it's only you and I
Oh, you and I
Oh, you and I
Oh, you and I
Oh, you and I

[Chorus]
So I
I don't wanna say what's scripted
Whether you are or aren't with it
I know what I need
'Cause I
I don't wanna say what's scripted
Whether you are or aren't with it
I know what I need

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song ‘Scripted 'seems to be a commentary on the music industry, and how scripted everything a public figure either says or does is. Zayn (who was in the spotlight from a young age ) would definitely have seen and had experiences with this type of thing. Along with a person’s words being planned out, the song seems to also talk about how the media and general public often do not know the full/true story. As for the musical elements the song has strong piano backing and dreamy guitar and bass, making it a unique and beautiful addition to the album.
