You're s-s-s-s-s-so damn nervous
00:06
And you d-d-d-d-don't know why
00:09
In my hand and it's fully loaded
00:12
Hit send and you won't survive
00:15
You let your guard down
00:18
For the first time
00:22
Tastes bitter right now
00:24
But look at the bright side (oh)
00:29
I know you're dead inside (oh)
00:35
I know I gave you the time of your life
00:40
Held your heart, then I broke it twice
00:44
But look at the bright side (oh)
00:46
Now you know what it feels like
00:52
Got me in your n-n-nervous system
00:54
You're pacin' and you're spacin' out
00:57
Every word got my initials in 'em
01:00
Ride the bus with your heart torn now
01:03
You let your guard down
01:06
For the first time
01:10
Tastes bitter right now
01:12
But look at thе bright side (oh)
01:17
I know you're dead insidе (oh)
01:23
I know I gave you the time of your life
01:28
Held your heart, then I broke it twice
01:32
But look at the bright side (oh)
01:34
Now you know what it feels like
01:40
Wake up, shakin'
01:42
Mentally breakin'
01:43
Was it all a dream? Was it all a dream?
01:44
In a cold sweat, regret
01:47
You just wanna reset
01:49
But it's not a dream, but it's not a dream
01:50
Look at the bright side (oh)
01:53
I know you're dead inside (oh)
01:59
I know I gave you the time of your life
02:04
Held your heart, then I broke it twice
02:08
But look at the bright side (oh)
02:11
Now you know what it feels like
02:16

You're s-s-s-s-s-so damn nervousAnd you d-d-d-d-don't know why
In my hand and it's fully loaded
Hit send and you won't survive
You let your guard down
For the first time
Tastes bitter right now
But look at the bright side (oh)
I know you're dead inside (oh)
I know I gave you the time of your life
Held your heart, then I broke it twice
But look at the bright side (oh)
Now you know what it feels like
Got me in your n-n-nervous system
You're pacin' and you're spacin' out
Every word got my initials in 'em
Ride the bus with your heart torn now
You let your guard down
For the first time
Tastes bitter right now
But look at thе bright side (oh)
I know you're dead insidе (oh)
I know I gave you the time of your life
Held your heart, then I broke it twice
But look at the bright side (oh)
Now you know what it feels like
Wake up, shakin'
Mentally breakin'
Was it all a dream? Was it all a dream?
In a cold sweat, regret
You just wanna reset
But it's not a dream, but it's not a dream
Look at the bright side (oh)
I know you're dead inside (oh)
I know I gave you the time of your life
Held your heart, then I broke it twice
But look at the bright side (oh)
Now you know what it feels like
