Recovery Lyrics


I don't want to play this game no more
I don't wanna play it
I don't want to stay 'round here no more
I don't wanna stay here
Like rain on a Monday morning
Like pain that just keeps on going on

Look at all the hate they keep on showing
I don't want to see that
Look at all the stones they keep on throwing
I don't want to feel that
Like Sun that will keep on burning
I used to be so discerning, oh

In my Recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

And I can hear the choirs keep on singing
Tell me what they’re saying
And I can hear the phone
It keeps on ringing
I don’t want to answer
I know that I used to listen
And I know I’ve become dismissive

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

In my recovery
I’m a soldier at war
I have broken down walls
I defined
I designed
My recovery

In the sound of the sea
In the oceans of me
I defined
I designed
My recovery

Keep soaring,
Keep song-writing
My recovery

Recovery
  • Arthur penned this song with Ina Wroldsen, who wrote Shontelle's "Impossible," which the X Factor champ covered for his debut single immediately after winning the finale. The Norwegian songwriter has also penned several of The Saturdays singles, including their 2011 hit "Notorious."
  • The black-and-white video finds James Arthur performing the track while a camera pans around him in an empty studio. The clip was directed by Emil Nava, who also helmed Jessie J's "Price Tag" and Calvin Harris' "I Need Your Love" visuals.
