I’ve been terrible about keeping up with #MusicMonday because life keeps distracting me, but I want to try and get back to it. Starting today with ‘Moments’ by Tove Lo (who I adore) and I have to say this song resonates with me SO MUCH! I definitely feel like she’s speaking to my soul with this song and I think when you read the lyrics / listen to the song you’ll see why. The video has more than just the song, and it’s powerful af too.
From the video: “Say it with me” … “You’re broken, I never did anything right, you’re fucked up” … “Do you feel better?”
Enjoy, lovelies!
Lyrics
I grew up with a lot of green
Nice things ’round me
I was safe, I was fine
Grew up with a lot of dreams
Plans who to be
None of them know were mine
I love freaks, I don’t care if you’re a wild one (a wild one)
I love freaks, I don’t care if you’re a wild one
And me
I, I’m not the prettiest you’ve ever seen
But I have my moments, I have my moments
Not the flawless one, I’ve never been
But I have my moments, I have my moments
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the drugs
But on good days I am charming as fuck
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the drugs
But on good days I am charming as fuck
I can be the perfect one
But I’ll make you come
And I’m locked in your mind
You can say I don’t belong
That I’m so wrong
I can tell, tell you lie
I love freaks, I don’t care if you’re a wild one (a wild one)
I love freaks, I don’t care if you’re a wild one
And –
I, I’m not the prettiest you’ve ever seen
But I have my moments, I have my moments
Not the flawless one, I’ve never been
But I have my moments, I have my moments
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the drugs
But on good days I am charming as fuck
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the drugs
But on good days I am charming as fuck
Rough around the edges, memories and baggage
You know me…
Never play the safe card, when I go, I go hard
And now you know
I, I’m not the prettiest you’ve ever seen
But I have my moments, I have my moments
Not the flawless one, I’ve never been
But I have my moments, I have my moments
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the drugs
But on good days I am charming as fuck
I can get a little drunk, I get into all the drugs
But on good days I am charming as fuck
