[CHORUS] 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 I wish my heart would stop Beating me up (Whoa oh whoa) Beating me up Beating me up [VERSE 2] 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? [CHORUS] 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 I wish my heart would stop Beating me up (Whoa oh whoa) Beating me up Beating me up I wish my heart would stop I wish my heart would stop [BRIDGE] 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? [CHORUS] It’s getting louder (louder louder) every time I think about you (about you about you) I’ll be better off without you (without you without you) I wish my heart would stop I wish my heart would stop [OUTR]
