Lyrics

KILLSWITCH

[Verse 1]

Brace for impact, got my hands on the desk

I got heart cracks, dealing with your whiplash

Might just make you stay in your lane (Oh, oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

Revving up your engine, you talk and you talk

I can simply shut you off

[Chorus]

'Cause I can always flip that kill switch

Yeah, I wanna see you move in a panic

Leave you out in the dark, like, "Damn it"

'Cause this push and pull, feelin' like havoc

But I have it, that kill switch

Yeah, I wanna feel good, not tragic

And I'm so done carryin' this baggage

Gonna make you disappear like magic

'Cause I have it, that kill switch

[Post-Chorus]

You're so dead to me, d-d-dead to me

You're so dead to me, d-d-dead to me

[Verse 2]

Let the flame die, watch the memory fade

We had good times, I'd rather not see your face

Only one way to win this race (Oh, oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

Revving up your engine, you talk and you talk

Think it's time to cut you off

[Chorus]

'Cause I can always flip that kill switch

Yeah, I wanna see you move in a panic

Leave you out in the dark, like, "Damn it"

'Cause this push and pull, feelin' like havoc

But I have it, that kill switch

Yeah, I wanna feel good, not tragic

And I'm so done carryin' this baggage

Gonna make you disappear like magic

'Cause I have it, that kill switch

[Outro]

Kill switch, kill switch

You're so dead to me, d-d-dead to me

You're so dead to me, d-d-dead to me

(Kill switch) You're so dead to me, d-d-dead to me

You're so dead to me, d-d-dead to me

Kill switch
