you act like i'm nothing to lose | james 🔪 dave + dylan (ft. dan smith/bastille)
As you can probably tell (especially if you've read that one one-shot I wrote a whiles back set in 1979), Liar Liar by Dylan ft. Dan Smith/Bastille is probably the perfect song to describe how the relationship between James & Dave ended. To tl;dr the lore: Dave had been cheating on James the entire time they were together - doing it more when James was away on tour for work - and would straight up lie to James' face about it. James had his suspicions because he'd caught Dave in the act once before and when he found out the last time, James (understandably) lost his shit and broke up with him - kicking Dave out of his flat in the process. 'Killing off my fantasy' I've decided is in reference to how James had thought that they'd sorted the issue out in the past and how he'd planned a great many things with Dave, which were, ultimately, torn into tatters by Dave's serial cheating. 'Always bad news when it comes to you...' in my head, is in reference to how they keep accidentally meeting during the Odd Foxes years and how Dave purposely sets off Frank (which, inevitably, ends up in a fistfight because fuck Dave x).
