  • Ooh-ooh
    Uh-oh (uh-oh)
    Oh (oh), yeah

    I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
    'Cause I put too much energy in him and me
    Can't wait 'til I get through this phase
    'Cause it's killing me
    Too bad we can't re-write our own history

    Such a mystery when he's here with me
    It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
    Chances fading now, patience running out
    This ain't how it's supposed to be

    I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (no)
    How do we reverse the chemistry? (Chemistry)
    I don't want us to be the end of me (mmm, yeah)
    This love is taking all of my energy (energy)
    Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
    Taking all of my energy (energy)
    Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
    Taking all of (my energy)

    Seems only like yesterday, not even gravity
    Could keep your feet off the ground when you were with me
    How could two be as one?
    We've become so divided now
    There's no use hiding from the misery, no

    Such a mystery when he's here with me
    It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
    Chances fading now, patience running out
    This ain't how it's supposed to be

    I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (oh oh oh, whoa)
    How do we reverse the chemistry? (How do we?)
    I don't want us to be the end of me (me, yeah)
    This love is taking all of my energy (all of my energy)
    Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
    Taking all of my energy (taking all)
    Energy (energy), energy (my energy), (energy)
    Taking all of (whoa)

    Now I can feel a change in me (change in me)
    And I can't afford to slip much further
    From the person I was meant to be, whoa, oh
    I'm not afraid to walk alone
    Not giving up, but moving on
    Before it gets too deep
    'Cause you're taking all of my energy

    I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (ooh)
    How do we reverse the chemistry? (Ooh)
    I don't want us to be the end of me
    This love is taking all of my energy (all my energy)
    I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (oh, oh)
    How do we reverse the chemistry? (Oh)
    I don't want us to be the end of me
    This love is taking all of my energy (energy)
    Energy (energy), my energy (energy) (ooh)
    Taking all of my energy (ooh)
    Energy (energy)
    Taking all of me (energy, my energy)
    Taking all of-

    You're killing me
    You're taking all of me, yeah (me, yeah)
    Oh-oh, oh-oh
    This love is taking all of my energy Writer/s: Louis Biancaniello, Richard Butler, Samuel Watters, Wayne Wilkins

  • Rugshaana from South Africa Cape TownWhat's the name of the male actor who plays her Mr right
  • Chenel from Eatontown, Njwas the perfect anthem after the break up of a LONG 7yr relationship i had with my highschool "sweetheart". Everything about this song, including the video was so moving for me first time I saw it. Every word and every note in this song was so powerful to me because I could relate to every bit of it. It was a devastating break up and very sad story but.. but in the end worth it to trust God and just LET GO.
