Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Help me, my God, this got messy
Least I got the best seat
'Cause we put on one hell of a show
Waiting, I just keep on waiting for the final curtain
'Cause I just can't let go of your love
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh
Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh
Slow grenade, it's blowing up my mistakes
So why don't I, why don't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like apart of me must want it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 3]
Can't escape this blowing up
In my face, so why can't I, why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 4]
Crazy, late nights in the city, drink until you hate me
Then say that I should just let you go (Just let you go)
But hold on, why do we still hold on?
Think that we should move on
But we're too scared of being alone
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 5]
You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh
Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh
Slow grenade, it's blowing up my mistakes
So why don't I, why don't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like apart of me must want it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 6]
Can't escape this blowing up
In my face, so why can't I, why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 7]
Why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 8]
Help me, my God, this got messy
Least I got the best seat
'Cause we put on one hell of a show, whoa, aye
[Verse 9]
Oh, slow grenade, it's blowing up my mistakes
So why don't I, why don't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like apart of me must want it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 10]
Can't escape this blowing up
In my face, so why can't I, why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 11]
Why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
