Sadcore Sundays: “We Had to End it” by Cuco

Posted by strange on July 28, 2019

In honor of Cuco playing a block party in Los Angeles today, we’re featuring his song “We Had to End it” for Sadcore Sundays. This is for anyone who’s been through a breakup recently and feels like the world is ending and there is no more reason to live. Cuco feels your feels <3

“We Had To End It”

Me and my lover came to an end
I didn’t want that
But I guess she did

Sleepless nights have only begun
Swear I thought she was the one
The girl of my dreams

All my nightmares came to ruin my life
Mercy had no time
And time had no mercy on me

I felt so dumb thinking one day you could be my wife
Never thought you would lie
When you said you loved me

Nothing can bring me back to life
After you left me to die
On a road far away

Love and lies shine so bright
‘Cause they both made me blind
And I crashed as I looked away

Ghost of my past haunts my present
As there he welcomed
My agony and pain

He said I’ll be gone before you know
Just finish this song
And you’ll be where you belong
