Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah we used to flirt with freedom
'Fore everybody knew our name
We became their favorite secret
Love for love and not for fame
Oh, when I was a user, your FaceTime abuser
Dose after dose till we crashed
Now they bet on our game, say we'll go down in flames
It's too good, we never could last
[Verse 2]
But oh, we was undercover till it overflowed, overexposed
Oh, chained our love together, never took it slow
And now we know, life on overload (Love, love)
Don't we always make a show of love?
(Love, love, love, yeah)
[Verse 3]
Let that cellphone ring
Let that bluebird sing
Let that message say "Unread"
Let them talk about us
Let them talk too much
While we rule the whole world from our bed
[Verse 4]
'Cause oh, we was undercover till it overflowed, overexposed
Oh, chained our life together, never took it slow
And now we know, life on overload
Don't we always make a show of love?
Life on overload, must we make a spectacle of love?
[Verse 5]
Hey yeah
And oh, we was undercover till it overflowed, overexposed
Oh, chained our love together, never took it slow
And now we know, life on overload
Don't we always make a show of love?
Life on overload, must we make a spectacle of love?
