Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never meant to be the needle that broke your back
You were here, you were here, you were here
Don't look back
[Verse 2]
I never meant to be the needle that broke your back
You were here, you were here, you were here
Don't look back
[Verse 3]
He war, he war
He will kill for you
He war, he war
He will kill for you
Hide from who you can
You know you can
[Verse 4]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 5]
I'm not that hot new chic
And if you want me to run with it
We're on to your same old trick
Get up and run away with it
[Verse 6]
I'm not that hot new chic
And if you want me to run with it
We're onto your same old trick
Get up and run away with it
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey
He war, he war
He will kill for you
Hey, hey, hey
He war, he war
He will kill for you
Hide from who you can
Hey, hey, hey
You know you can
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 8]
Hey, hey, hey
He war, he war
He will kill for you
Hey, hey, hey
He war, he war
He will kill for you
Hide from who you can
Hey, hey, hey
You know you can
Hey, hey, hey
