Another week ends since you’ve been gone
It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long
But I guess it gets better everyday
Yeah, Yeah
My head is heavy my mind is numb
I found myself in a stranger’s arms cause
I just want to make it fade away
Yeah, Yeah
My heart is a broken machine
Need you to come set me free
Keep on playing the music baby
Keep on playing the music baby
My heart has been cold as nights
I feel it come back to life
Keep on playing the music baby
It’s all that’s getting me through this baby
Erase Erase Erase
Erase Erase Erase (Take it all away)
Erase Erase Erase
Erase Erase Erase (Take it all away)
I see you calling, I don’t respond
And now I feel like I’m right where I belong
And I am ready for a change
Yeah, Yeah
What doesn’t kill me will make me strong
Just turn it up, nothing’s wrong cause
I can just keep dancing through the pain
Yeah, Yeah
My heart is a broken machine
Need you to come set me free
Keep on playing the music baby
Keep on playing the music baby
My heart has been cold as nights
I feel it come back to life
Keep on playing the music baby
It’s all that’s getting me through this baby
Erase Erase Erase
Erase Erase Erase (Take it all away)
Erase Erase Erase
Erase Erase Erase (Take it all away)
I wanna dance till I can’t feel nothing at all
I wanna dance till I can’t feel nothing
Erase Erase Erase Erase (Take it all away)
I wanna dance till I can’t feel nothing at all
I wanna dance till I can’t feel nothing (Yeah)
My heart is a broken machine
Need you to come set me free
Keep on playing the music baby
Keep on playing the music baby
My heart has been cold as nights
I feel it come back to life
Keep on playing the music baby
It’s all that’s getting me through this baby
Erase Erase Erase Erase (Take it all away)
I wanna dance till I can’t feel nothing at all
I wanna dance till I can’t feel nothing
