Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
It's always beautiful
Until I mess it up
[Verse 2]
It's like you don't believe in love
So we lost the touch
It's like you wanna cross wires
Just to cut 'em up
It's like you made the metal
Just so you can see the rust
Like you want the tick-tick-boom
Just to self-destruct
[Verse 3]
And I ain't sitting here
Waiting for you to detonate
Pulling pins on hand grenades
And going in for a hug
Building bridges so you can blow 'em up
I can't be your life support
If all you do is really wanna pull the plug
[Verse 4]
I put myself into the spiral
But you the one that's twisted
It gets hard 'cause I see poison
Mixed up with a vixen
But listen, it's my fault
'Cause I love the chase
All you do is give me three letters
You go M.I.A.
[Verse 5]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
It's always beautiful
Until I mess it up
[Verse 6]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
The walls are closing in
Because I built 'em up
[Verse 7]
There's a part of me
That thinks you love being broken
You build the walls up, then tear them down
Just to see the motion
And that train of thought really put me off-track
Had me thinking 'bout my ex
Like we talking 'bout maps
Three strikes, but you still wanna throw a curve-ball
This here my turn-off
Leave the car turned on
I'ma hop out 'cause I'm sick of wasting my breath
Clip my wings, tell me to fly
That's your butterfly effect
That cocoon broke out
In that room, no sound
Your silent thoughts can't tell me what to do right now
Chinese whispers gon' make it hard for me to ever listen
You sabotaged the image, so don't ask me for forgiveness
[Verse 8]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
It's always beautiful
Until I mess it up
[Verse 9]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
The walls are closing in
Because I built 'em up
[Verse 10]
So don't let me hope too high
Don't let me hope too high
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
Don't let me hope too high
When everything is right
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
[Verse 11]
I sabotage (Why you sabotage?)
Everything I love (Everything I love)
It's always beautiful
Until I mess it up
[Verse 12]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
It's always beautiful
Until I mess it up
[Verse 13]
Why do I sabotage
Everything I love?
The walls are closing in
Because I built 'em up
[Verse 14]
Why do I sabotage?
