Lyrics

TBC

[Verse 1]

Burn my hotel down

I'm blacked out but I’m still running round

Even though it’s now

We're strung up but we're still running round

Burn my hotel down

I'm backed up so I’m still running round

We’re back up so we’re still running round

[Pre-Chorus]

Pretty girls seem to get there way

Even if they don’t have much to say

I can't, I can't, I can't sleep

Who knows, could be you tonight

Slipped away, they held on too tight

What did he say?

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe

[Chorus]

Should it be I’ve lost my way it’s happening all on my own

Should it be I’ve past the gate I’m strapped in, no don’t let go

It keeps on coming down

I push the struggle out

Tell me did it reach the crowd

Ohohohoo

[Post-Chorus]

Pretty girls seem to get there way

Even if they don’t have much to say

I can't, I can't, I can't sleep

Who knows, could be you tonight

Slipped away, they held on too tight

What did he say?

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe

[Verse 2]

Burn my hotel down

Lock me in so I can’t run out

Even though it now

Tried so hard, we can’t stay around

Burn my hotel down

It didn’t seem like it

Was a problem for you to think about?

[Chorus]

Should it be I’ve lost my way it’s happening all on my own

Should it be I’ve past the gate I’m strapped in, no don’t let go

It keeps on coming down

I push the struggle out

Tell me did it reach the crowd

Ohohohoo

[Post-Chorus]

Pretty girls seem to get there way

Even if they don’t have much to say

I can't, I can't, I can't sleep

Who knows, could be you tonight

Slipped away, they held on too tight

What did he say?

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe

I can't, I can't, I can't breathe
