girl in red Lyrics

"rue"

I remember you couldn't stop crying
You found me when I thought I was dying
Believe me when I say
I tried so hard to change
All the crazy shit I made you do
The long nights you held me through
Believe me when I say
I could never be saved
Be saved

Yeah, I tried
To get it off my mind
To leave it all behind
Don't wanna make it worse
I'm gonna make it work
Yeah, I tried
To get it off my mind
To leave it all behind
Don't wanna make it worse
I'm gonna make it work

I remember you stayed up all night
To make sure I was alright
Believe me when I say
I would have done the same
I hate the way my brain is wired
Can't trust my mind, it's such a liar
Believe me when I say
I can't carry the weight
The weight

Yeah, I tried
To get it off my mind
To leave it all behind
Don't wanna make it worse
I'm gonna make it work
Yeah, I tried
To get it off my mind
To leave it all behind
Don't wanna make it worse
I'm gonna make it work

Oh, I will make it work, I'll make it work
I'll make it work
Oh, I will make it work, I'll make it work
I'll make it work
Oh, I brush off the dirt, get off the curb
I'll do the work, oh, I
I'm so disturbed, can't fix the hurt
Can't fix the hurt

Yeah, I tried
To get it off my mind
To leave it all behind
Don't wanna make it worse
I'm gonna make it work

Yeah, I tried
Yeah, I tried
Yeah, I tried
Yeah, I tried

This song is the lead single off of Girl In Red's debut studio album. The song and its video were released on the 26th of August 2020.

Girl In Red commented on "Rue", "It's started out as like—being inspired by [HBO's] Euphoria because I saw a lot myself in Rue, the character Rue, and I thought that was myself, me but it wasn't which makes sense." She futher clarified about the character, "She is a drug addict, which I'm not. But a lot of the stuff she's felt and is trying to escape from is shit I'm dealing with all the time."

Marie Ulven Ringheim, the person behind Girl In Red, told NME about "Rue", "I wrote this song for my loved ones who are affected by my mental health. I will always try my best to get better for them, and I am forever grateful for their presence in my life."
