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, I 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)
 
 I 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)
 
 I'll be better off without you (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 (whoa, oh, whoa)
 
 No, no, beating me up, whoa, whoa (whoa, oh, whoa)
 
 Wish my heart would
 
 Wish my heart would stop
 
 Beating me up
 
 Beating me up
