Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(upbeat music)

♪ And another one bites the dust ♪

♪ Oh, why can I not conquer love? ♪

♪ And I might've thought that you'd be the one ♪

♪ Wanted to fight this war without weapons ♪

♪ And I wanted it, I wanted it bad ♪

♪ But there were so many red flags ♪

♪ Now another one bites the dust ♪

♪ Yeah, let's be clear, I'll trust no one ♪

♪ You did not break me ♪

♪ I'm still fighting for peace ♪

♪ I've got thick skin and an elastic heart ♪

♪ But your blade, it might be too sharp ♪

♪ I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard ♪

♪ And I may snap and I move fast ♪

♪ But you won't see me fall apart ♪

♪ 'Cause I've got an elastic heart ♪

♪ I've got an elastic heart ♪

(upbeat music continues)

♪ Yeah, I've got an elastic heart ♪

♪ And I will stay up through the night ♪

♪ Yeah, let's be clear, won't close my eyes ♪

♪ And I know that I can survive ♪

♪ I'll walk through fire to save my life ♪

♪ And I want it, I want my life so bad ♪

♪ I'm doing everything I can ♪

♪ And another one bites the dust ♪

♪ It's hard to lose a chosen one ♪

♪ You did not break me ♪

(upbeat music continues)

♪ I'm still fighting for peace ♪

♪ I've got thick skin and an elastic heart ♪

♪ But your blade, it might be too sharp ♪

♪ I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard ♪

♪ I may snap and I move fast ♪

♪ But you won't see me fall apart ♪

♪ 'Cause I've got an elastic heart ♪
