Background and live performances
On May 17, 2017, Del Rey posted a video to her Instagram page of a rehearsal to an unknown song, but deleted it right after. She then posted another video of the same rehearsal session with the caption "When you're chatting through the verses but snap back into it for the chorus. See u Saturday".[1] Another snippet of the song was used in a behind the scenes video of the 2017 V magazine photoshoot shot by Steven Klein.

Lyrics
Love, I said real love, is like feelin' no fear
When you're standin' in the face of danger
'Cause you just want it so much
A touch from your real love is like heaven taking the place of something evil
And lettin' it burn off from the rush
Yeah, yeah (fuck)
Darlin', darlin', darlin'
I fall to pieces when I'm with you, I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined)
Love, I said real love, it's like smilin' when the firing squad's against you
And you just stay lined up
Yeah (fuck)
Darlin', darlin', darlin'
I fall to pieces when I'm with you, I fall to pieces (bitch)
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined)
(Bitch)
My rose garden dreams set on fire by fiends
And all my black beaches (are ruined)
My celluloid scenes are torn at the seams
And I fall to pieces (bitch)
I fall to pieces when I'm with you
(Why)
'Cause I love you so much
I fall to pieces
My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme
And all of my peaches (are ruined)
(Bitch)
(Are ruined)
(Bitch)
(Are ruined)
(Fuck)
