Applause

This gon' be the third night
Jumping up out of my sleep
Can't find the air to breathe
You're taking it all out of me
There's no prescription
Strong enough for your memories
Clenching up my fists, biting on my lips
Punching through the walls, tryna make sense
I've never been a drinker, just a heavy thinker
Been around the smokers, that's just not my focus
We almost had it all but you lost your way, sound the alarm
Somebody call the rehab, you just had a relapse
Amo cho te mato, terminal mi lado
I'm not one of those, I'm just a girl with a cause
Hold your applause
This gon' be the 5th day, living without you there
Can't keep my mind straight
Maybe this was a mistake
We're on the verge of extinction
Watch it all slip away
I've never been a drinker, just a heavy thinker
Been around the smokers, that's just not my focus
We almost had it all but you lost your way, sound the alarm
Somebody call the rehab, you just had a relapse
Amo cho te mato, terminal mi lado
I'm not one of those, I'm just a girl with a cause
Hold your applause
Gather in this war
White flag is going up for sure
Yeah you feel the fire
The stakes get higher
I put on such a show
The type that you ain't never seen before
So where's my round of applause?
At least I know I get an encore
