Lyrics Maraschino Cherry - Emily James

Sweet, ripe, red as a street light
Color burst
Dripping in a syrup, it doesn't mean much
When it's just words
Sitting at the bottom of the liquor
I'm sipping but the sugar's tasting bitter
Yeah excuse me if I seem elusive
But I've learned

Ma-ma-ma-maraschino cherry
How I'd love to love you
Still got a heart so could you spare me?
Don't start caring if it isn't true
Don't lie lie lie 'cause I'll buy buy buy it
And I can't afford to lose
Oh maraschino cherry
How real are you?

Rose glass gets you to fall fast
I should run
I know it so then why am I feeling the stem tied
Around my tongue
I've learned to question everything you're saying
Wish I didn't have to doubt your motivation
But you only get to be
Naïve once

Ma-ma-ma-maraschino cherry (cherry)
How I'd love to love you (love to, love you)
Still got a heart so could you spare me (spare me)
Don't start caring if it isn't true (caring, true please be true)
Don't lie lie lie 'cause I'll buy buy buy it
And I can't afford to lose
Oh maraschino cherry
How real are you? (how real are you?)

Ooooooh
(How real are you?)
Ahhhhhhh

Don't lie lie lie 'cause I'll buy buy buy it
And I can't afford to lose
Oh maraschino cherry (cherry, mmm)
How real are you?
