James Arthur Ruthless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Six months, I thought it was love
You and me laying foundations
Now you're done in a trip around the sun
One day for you to lose your patience
[Pre-Chorus]
We were growing like an orchid
And I tried to be all you wanted
The flowers that we watered, you ripped them out
[Chorus]
Oh my God, you're ruthless, I was foolish, I was wrong
Now I'm crying, I don't do this and it's useless
Now you're gone, now that you're gone
Did you mean every word that you said?
'Cause they burn right through me, right through
Like you did, oh my God, you're ruthless
[Verse 2]
Yeah, four days, all your messages delayed
I was spiraling, you know I love spiraling, aw, yeah
Your mind was made, there was nothing I could say
I just felt you disengage, did you feel my heart break?
[Pre-Chorus]
We were growing like an orchid
And I tried to be all you wanted
The flowers that we watered, you ripped them out
You might also like

Oh my God, you're ruthless, I was foolish, I was wrong
Now I'm crying, I don't do this and it's useless
Now you're gone, now that you're gone
Did you mean every word that you said?
'Cause they burn right through me, right through
Like you did, oh my God, you're ruthless
[Outro]
Oh my God, you're ruthless, yeah
Oh my God, you're ruthless, baby, you're ruthless, baby
(Oh my God, you're ruthless)
(Oh my God, you're ruthless)
James Arthur Ruthless Lyrics Meaning
In "Ruthless," James Arthur reflects on the dissolution of a once-promising love. The six-month journey, initially filled with hope and foundation-building, takes a devastating turn. The metaphor of an orchid represents their growth, but the partner's ruthless actions—ripping out the metaphorical flowers they nurtured—result in heartbreak.
The chorus captures the pain, foolishness, and wrongs, expressing the singer's emotional struggle and uselessness in the aftermath of the breakup. The delayed messages and the partner's disengagement lead to a poignant realization, questioning if the partner truly meant the hurtful words spoken. The outro emphasizes the ruthlessness of the situation, leaving an indelible mark on the singer's heart.
