Lyrics

3 Am

[Verse 1]

I don't give a damn about you

No, nothing can change my mind, no way

I'm happy just to let you walk away

Don't think about you at night

I'm happy to be alone, it's okay

But that was yesterday and now I'm

[Bridge]

Driving in my car

Words don't get me far

When they don't mean sh-

Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

I'm calling you at 3am and I'm

Standing here right outside the door

And I don't think that my heart can take much more

I'm scared I'm cracking up again I just

Want it to be like it was before

Cause I dont think that my heart can take much more

[Verse 2]

I don't give a damn what you do

I'm going to get with you again

And that's the way this night is gonna end

You say that you need some time

How long does it take to see

That we are more than meant to be

[Bridge]

And now you're driving in your car

But you won't get far

Cos your car is sh-

Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

I'm calling you at 3am and I'm

Standing here right outside the door

And I don't think that my heart can take much more

I'm cared I'm cracking up again I just

Want it to be like it was before

Cause I dont think that my heart can take much more

Much more

Can take much more

Can take much more

Can take much more

I'm calling you at 3am and I'm

Standing here right outside the door

And I don't think that my heart can take much more

I'm scared I'm cracking up again I just

Want it to be like it was before

Cause I dont think that my heart can take much more

Busted: "We’re definitely doing another record"

They were the biggest pop stars in their class, then overnight they were no more. But why, after reforming for a brand new album, do Busted sound like a whole different band?
