Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been living with devils and angels, angels, angels

Realized you and I we're in the same boat, same boat, yeah

Kills me, how you love me then you

Cut me down, I'll do the same

We've been living like angels and devils, devils

[Verse 2]

I'm loving the pain

I never wanna live without it

(So why do I try?)

You drive me insane

Now we're screaming just to see who's louder

(So why do I try?)

[Verse 3]

You got me like

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

Ooh yeah

[Verse 4]

You and I redefine being lovesick, lovesick, lovesick

Through it all, you could still make my heart skip, heart skip, yeah

Even when you're yelling at me, I still think you're beautiful

Through it all you could still make my heart skip, heart skip

[Verse 5]

I'm loving the pain

I never wanna live without it

(So why do I try?)

You drive me insane

Now we're screaming just to see who's louder

(So why do I try?)

[Verse 6]

You got me like

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

[Verse 7]

Ooh baby, look at us

We've been living like angels, living like devils

Ooh baby, look at us

We've been loving like angels, loving like devils

Ooh baby, look at us

We've been living like angels, living like devils

Ooh baby, look at us

We've been loving like angels, loving like devils

Ooh baby, look

[Verse 8]

I'm loving the pain

I never wanna live without it

(So why do I try?)

You drive me insane

Now we're screaming just to see who's louder

(So why do I try?)

[Verse 9]

You got me like

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

[Verse 10]

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)

(Na na na na na na na)
