Beating Me Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We threw words like they were sharp knives
Fell like we tripped over a landmine
You said we lost love
You made your mind up
And I just got quiet, my body went numb
And I pretend that I can handle it
And if I hold my head up, I won't drown
I can't let go, you're like the chemical
You're racing through me
My heart just pounds, pounds, pounds
It's getting louder and louder
Every time I think about you, about you
I'll be better off without you, without you
I wish my heart would stop, I wish my heart would stop
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up
You've moved on, I know I should too
My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new
Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?
Why does my heart sound like it might burst tonight?
It's getting louder and louder
Every time I think about you, about you
I'll be better off without you, without you
I wish my heart would stop, wish my heart would stop
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
I wish my heart would stop (whoa, oh, whoa)
I wish my heart would stop
I won't let you get the best of me
How'd my heart become my enemy?
I won't let you get the best of me
How'd my heart become my enemy?
(Beating me up, beating me up)
(Beating me up, beating me up)
It's getting louder (louder, louder)
Every time I think about you (about you, about you)
I'll be better off without you (without you, without you)
I wish my heart would stop
I wish my heart would stop
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
No, no, beating me up, whoa, whoa (whoa, oh, whoa)
Wish my heart would
Wish my heart would stop
Beating me up
Beating me up
