I can not stay this close to you 00:05

I know that now 00:09

I got carried away just like I always do 00:11

I'd like to keep you next to me 00:15

But I can't sleep 00:19

I'm nothing but a slave of my misery 00:21

Once I got love, now I've got a trauma 00:24

I got so used to all of that drama 00:27

Life is a bitch, but you know so is karma 00:30

Bottle of wine and marihuana 00:35

Doing what I do best, getting fucked up 00:37

Hotel room, broken hearts in a hot tub 00:40

But you know 00:43

There's darkness and it follows me 00:44

Don't hold on so tight 00:48

Don't hold on so tight 00:51

I'm never gonna let you in 00:54

Don't hold on so tight 00:59

Don't hold on so tight 01:01

Baby I'm a bad idea 01:04

I can not play this game with you 01:07

I wish I could 01:11

But I'm running away just like I always do 01:14

I hate to say it, but it's true 01:18

I feel so cruel 01:21

But maybe I'm just not that into you 01:24

Done so many things I'm not proud of 01:27

Time runs out and you're getting wound up 01:30

There's no doubt, I'm wearing your heart out 01:32

Book the plane, let's go to Bahamas 01:37

You want to get away from your mama's 01:40

You can call it love if you wanna 01:42

But you know 01:45

There's darkness and it follows me 01:47

Don't hold on so tight 01:51

Don't hold on so tight 01:54

I'm never gonna let you in 01:57

Don't hold on so tight 02:01

Don't hold on so tight 02:04

Lyrics:

[English]

I can not stay this close to you

I know that now

I got carried away just like I always do

I'd like to keep you next to me

But I can't sleep

I'm nothing but a slave of my misery

Once I got love, now I've got a trauma

I got so used to all of that drama

Life is a bitch, but you know so is karma

Bottle of wine and marihuana

Doing what I do best, getting fucked up

Hotel room, broken hearts in a hot tub

But you know

There's darkness and it follows me

Don't hold on so tight

I'm never gonna let you in

Don't hold on so tight

Baby I'm a bad idea

I can not play this game with you

I wish I could

But I'm running away just like I always do

I hate to say it, but it's true

I feel so cruel

But maybe I'm just not that into you

Done so many things I'm not proud of

Time runs out and you're getting wound up

There's no doubt, I'm wearing your heart out

Book the plane, let's go to Bahamas

You want to get away from your mama's

You can call it love if you wanna

But you know

There's darkness and it follows me

Don't hold on so tight

I'm never gonna let you in

Don't hold on so tight

Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in

Never gonna let you in

Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in

Never gonna let you in

Baby, I'm a bad idea

(You should know that)

Ooh, there's darkness and it follows me

Don't hold on so tight

I'm never gonna let you in

Don't hold on so tight

Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in

Never gonna let you in

Baby, I'm a bad idea

I'm never gonna let you in

Never gonna let you in

Baby, I'm a bad idea

Never gonna let you in

Baby, I'm a bad idea

Never gonna let you in
