Lyrics
Switch
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.
Voices speakin' clearly yet undefined.
I got so many choices every day it's like wastin' time.
Lay down let me love you one more time.
Apathy is a virtue in my mind.
Pre chorus:
She took me high, she took me low where I wanted to go.
Although never did she know my intention not to mention
the suspension was catching' up.
So often do we hide the beast in us.
One time should've been enough for me.
Two times would have had to set you free.
Three time on your own, better off dead
and you really should have listened the first time I said
Chorus:
You should have never made the change.
I'm like a needle to the vein.
Just when you thought I stayed the same
I blew my cover.
No, my self esteem was so low
my self esteem was so low
my self esteem was so low
And never will I let this go
No, my self esteem was so low
No, my self esteem was so low
No, my self esteem was so low
And never will I let this go...
Switch! (Oppose the opposition)
Bitch! (Avoid my premonition)
Fuck you undo
all the lies I see right through you.
Switch! (Oppose the opposition)
Bitch! (Avoid my premonition)
Fuck you undo
all the lies I see right through you.
Tempted one more time above the truth untold.
Truth is little boy just needs someone to hold.
I'm here little angel let's fly away
Yeah.
Strip you of every last purity that ever came your way.
Pre chorus:
She took me high, she took me low where I wanted to go.
Although never did she know my intention not to mention
the suspension was catching' up.
So often do we hide the beast in us.
One time should've been enough for me.
Two times would have had to set you free.
Three time on your own, better off dead
and you really should have listened the first time I said
Chorus:
You should have never made the change.
I'm like a needle to the vein.
Just when you thought I stayed the same
I blew my cover.
No, my self esteem was so low
my self esteem was so low
my self esteem was so low
And never will I let this go
No, my self esteem was so low
No, my self esteem was so low
No, my self esteem was so low(2x)
And never will I let this go...
Switch! (Oppose the opposition)
Bitch! (Avoid my premonition)
Fuck you undo
all the lies I see right through you.(x4)
