Wither On The Vine (Live at Apollo)

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] How are we doing, Hammersmith Apollo? I said how are we doing, Hammersmith Apollo? So, this next song, is a kinda stomping cuffing kinda song And I wrote it after a night out where I bumped into my ex And I'd done so much work in trying to get over him I was so proud of me, with myself And I came back, and I was just sat at the piano, like bang And my mum comes in, and she's like The nuggets of wisdom that my mum have, ten out of ten She says, "Freya, when someone has broken your heart Or hurt your trust And you want to give them your fire Put it into something you love Give them nothing Just let them wither on the vine" [Verse 1] Wither on the vine, my mother told me of your kind Seeing you tonight has done nothing to change my mind You let me go And you crushed me slow (Wither on the vine) [Verse 2] Shiver down my spine, my father told me to be wise Seeing you tonight has done nothing to change my mind You let me go (Wither, wither, wither, wither) (Wither, wither, wither, wither) That I loved you so (Wither, wither, wither, wither) (Wither on the vine) [Pre-Chorus] Only way you know it's over Do you wanna pull me closer? God, you let me down God, you let me down Only way you know I'm healing Do you wanna stop me leaving? God, you burn me out And I could burn this down [Chorus] But I say wither on the vine Wither on the vine My mother told me (Wither on the vine) My mother told me (Wither on the vine) [Verse 3] Bitter was the rind, but I still ate it every time Covered up the rosemary with sour clementine I couldn't grow, no, no, no Your poison soil, oh [Pre-Chorus] Only way you know it's over Do you wanna pull me closer? God, you let me down Thank God, you let me down Feel your hand on my shoulder Hear you say it's never over God, you burn me out I should burn this down [Chorus] But I say wither on the vine Wither on the vine My mother told me (Wither on the vine) My mother told me (Wither on the vine) [Bridge] Wither on the vine, my brother told me to be kind "Faye, he hasn't seen you've got that fire in your eye He doesn't know Your blood runs cold" (Woah, oh-ooh, oh-ooh) (Woah, oh-ooh, oh-ooh) I should burn this down [Chorus] But I say wither on the vine Wither on the vine My mother told me (Wither, wither, wither, wither on the vine) My mother told me (Wither on the vine) I say wither on the vine Wither on the vine Wither on the vine (Wither on the vine) And I say, wither, wither, wither, wither, wither on the vine This bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter fruit of mine And I never, never, never thought I'd make it out this time But I say wither on the vine Ooh
