  • We threw words like they were sharp knives
    Fell like we tripped over a landmine
    You said we lost love
    You made your mind up
    And I just got quiet, my body went numb

    And I pretend that I can handle it
    and if I hold my head up, I won't drown
    I can't let go, you're like the chemical
    you're racing through me
    My heart just pounds, pounds, pounds

    It's getting louder and louder
    Every time I think about you, about you
    I'll be better off without you, without you
    I wish my heart would stop, wish my heart would stop
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Beating me up

    You've moved on, I know I should too
    My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new
    Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?
    Why does my heart sound like it might burst tonight?

    It's getting louder and louder
    Every time I think about you, about you
    I'll be better off without you, without you
    I wish my heart would stop, wish my heart would stop
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    I wish my heart would stop (whoa, oh, whoa)
    wish my heart would stop

    I won't let you get the best of me
    How'd my heart become my enemy?
    I won't let you get the best of me
    How'd my heart become my enemy?

    (Beating me up, beating me up)
    (Beating me up, beating me up)

    It's getting louder (louder, louder)
    every time I think about you (about you, about you)
    And I'll be better off without ya (without ya, without ya)
    I wish my heart would stop
    I wish my heart would stop
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Beating me up (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Beating me up whoa whoa (whoa, oh, whoa)
    Wish my heart would
    I wish my heart would stop
    Beating me up
