Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

When it’s too much

There’s a gun to my head

When it’s too much

Got me feeling so scared

Yeah, real talk with my demons lately

Real talk in the mirror, save me

When it’s too much

Gotta live life good, appreciate it

Nothing is forever

Lucky to remember

Stay up in the moment

All night, all night, yeah

All the things I love are gonna leave me

One day, you’re never gonna be there

I tell myself to take it easy

Don’t think twice about it, baby

Up on the hill, we’ll see it all end

Die happy thinking ’bout my best friends

Till then I’m diving off the deep end

Don’t think twice about it I say

“Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it”

When I let go

Let my body ascend

Let the love through

See the light at the end

Yeah, real talk with my demons lately

Real talk in the mirror, so brave

When let go

I’ll say I lived life good, appreciated

Nothing is forever

Lucky to remember

Stay up in the moment

All night, all night, yeah

All the things I love are gonna leave me

One day, you’re never gonna be there

I tell myself to take it easy

Don’t think twice about it, baby

Up on the hill, we’ll see it all end

Die happy thinking ’bout my best friends

Till then I’m diving off the deep end

Don’t think twice about it, I say

“Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

Don’t think twice

Don’t think twice

Don’t, don’t, don’t think twice

Don’t think about it

Romance never seems to be roses

Never happy endings, unless someone pretendin’

But sometimes it feels good to be lonely

Call it independence, done with this pretendin’

I cut you off, don’t call my line

It’s not ’cause I’m on guard, but I

Been hurt one too many times

And that’s the reason why

I’m a selfish girl

I’ve gotta put myself first

‘Cause I’m a selfish girl

I only want the whole world, oh, oh, yeah

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

One hand in the air at the party

Stuck in sound and vision, something like religion, oh

Don’t try to light something I’ve started

Yeah, you might be different, but I told you that we’re finished, oh

I cut you off, don’t call my line

It’s not ’cause I’m on guard, but I

Been hurt one too many times

And that’s the reason why

I’m a selfish girl

I’ve gotta put myself first

‘Cause I’m a selfish girl

I only want the whole world, oh, oh, yeah

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

Can you handle that?

Can you handle that? Can you handle that?

Can you handle that?

No one really can, no, no

Hands up if you’re selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish, selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish, selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish, selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish

Put your hands up if you’re selfish, selfish

I’m a selfish girl

I’ve gotta put myself first

‘Cause I’m a selfish girl

I only want the whole world

What you want

I ain’t got it

What you want

What you want

I ain’t got it

What you want

I ain’t got it

I don’t know why I got a tendency to run away

Don’t know why I’m always pushing for a sweet escape

Even though I feel so close

I just can’t control how I

Feel

And I gotta be free

Need to breathe

But sometimes I need

All night

All day

We could fall in love in new shapes

New shapes

When the morning comes

I’m sorry

I stayed

Tell you honestly, I can’t change

Can’t change

What you want

I ain’t got it

What you want

What you want

I ain’t got it

I ain’t got it

What if I

Created places for you to let go

What if you

Wanted to watch because we both know

That now we are so close we don’t have to fight how we feel

When the lights and the skins are a call so surrender to it

All night, all day

Then we fall in love in new shapes, new shapes

When the morning comes all misty, we fade

‘Cause we fell in love in new shapes

In new shapes

What you want

I ain’t got it (Got it)

What you want

(We could go on)

What you want

I ain’t got it

I ain’t got it

Thinking of me but you’re stuck on the West side again

Maybe we’re meant for another dimension, babe

Deep in the dark of your brain like a star in space

You call it art but you pulled out my heart

And you twisted it into a new shape

Yeah, I’m dive bombing again and again

Trying to get up close to you

Fucked if I know how it’s gonna end

But honestly life would be better

If I never met you in the first place

What you want

I ain’t got it (Yeah)

What you want

(I ain’t got it)

What you want

I ain’t got it

(Charli, Caroline, Chris)

What you want

(What you want, what you want)

I ain’t got it (What you want)

What you want

I ain’t got it

What you want

What you want

I ain’t got it

(I ain’t got it, baby)

I ain’t got it

I wish you gave me, a reason

That you were better, at leavin’

That you got your kicks from seeing me low

I always let the good ones go

Don’t want the kisses, unless they’re bitter

I’m hooked on touches, that leave me weaker

I swear that I love nothing more than broke

I always let the good ones go

And baby you couldn’t have loved me any better

But doin’ this is all that I’ve known ever

I want the bad ones, ’cause they’re all I know

I always let the good ones go

I always let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I let the good ones

Let you down easy, I’m trying

‘Cause you’re everything I’ve spent my whole life fighting

So when I walk away, it’s not your fault

I always let the good ones, go

And baby you couldn’t have loved me any better

But doin’ this is all that I’ve known ever

I want the bad ones, ’cause they’re all I know

I always let the good ones go

I always let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I’m focused on you

You’re all on me too

I’m cute and I’m rude

And you like what I do

You said I run through your mind

So I put love on the line

I scared you away

You missed the chance of a lifetime

When you’re lonely

Are you ever thinkin’ ’bout the magic in me?

Do you wish I was yours?

When you’re lonely (When you’re lonely)

Am I ever on your mind on constant repeat?

Is it me that you want?

Do you realise

I could have been the one to change your life?

You could have had a bad girl by your side

You could have had a bad girl

Could have had a bad girl

If you wanted

Do you even know

The reasons why you had to let me go? (Do you know?)

You could have had a bad girl by your side

You could have had a bad girl

Could have had a bad girl

If you wanted

I’m focused on you

You’re all on me too

Told you I’m cute and I’m rude

With kinda rare attitude

You said I’m still on your mind

But now I don’t have the time

You should have been brave

You missed the chance of a lifetime

When you’re lonely

Are you ever thinkin’ ’bout the magic in me?

Do you wish I was yours?

When you’re lonely (When you’re lonely)

Am I ever on your mind on constant repeat?

Is it me that you want?

Do you realise

I could have been the one to change your life?

You could have had a bad girl by your side

You could have had a bad girl

Could have had a bad girl

If you wanted

Do you even know

The reasons why you had to let me go? (Do you know?)

You could have had a bad girl by your side

You could have had a bad girl

Could have had a bad girl

If you wanted

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Got me on repeat

Every time you have to catch a flight

Ah, ah-ah

Can I take you to the airport?

Make out under the bathroom lights

I already know I’m letting go of something sacred

Drive us off the road, I take a good thing and I break it

Think it’s it my soul, the way I run from something real, no, I ain’t changing

Wish I could surrender, give you everything I got and let you know

It’s something ’bout the way you move me

Yeah, yeah

It’s something ’bout the way you save my life

Something ’bout the way you

Hold my body tight even on my lowest nights

Locked down my by side even when I’m borderline

Yeah, I don’t even know why I push you away

It’s something ’bout the way you

Call it what you want, I got a habit for destruction

Take all of your trust and then betray it like it’s nothing

Yeah, I think it’s in my soul, the way I run from something real and leave you wondering (Wondering)

Why I can’t surrender, give you everything I got and let you know

It’s something ’bout the way you move me

Yeah, yeah

It’s something ’bout the way you save my life

Something ’bout the way you

Hold my body tight even on my lowest night

Locked down my by side even when I’m borderline

Yeah, I don’t even know why I push you away

It’s something ’bout the way you

Hold my body tight even on my lowest night

Locked down by my side even when I’m borderline

Way you move me

Way you move me

Yeah, yeah

Don’t know what to say

One look and then you blew me away

I’m spiralling all over the place

So lifted, got me reaching for grace

Body off the ground

Caught me by surprise

Like seeing shooting stars in the sky

There’s danger in the dark of your eyes

But something ’bout you breathes me to life

Got me here and now

Heartbreak already hit me once

They say that it won’t happen twice

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

My stupid heart can’t fight it, fight it, uhh

So tell me what you want and I’ma give it to you

Like lightning

Blinded, blinded

You took me down, I don’t mind it, mind it

My stupid heart can’t fight it, fight it, uhh

So tell me what you want and I’ma give it to you

Like lightning

Electrified with love on the line

So different every touch, every time

Connected by invisible wires

Don’t you cut me out

Heartbreak already hit me once

So swear that it won’t happen twice

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

You struck me down like lightning, lightning

My stupid heart can’t fight it, fight it, uhh
