Headphones On – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Put your headphones on

Guess I gotta accept the pain

Need a cigarette to make me feel better

Every good thing comes my way

So I still get dolled up

Guess I gotta accept the pain

Need a cigarette to make me feel better

Every good thing comes my way

So I

So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on)

Listen to my favorite song (listen to my favorite song)

Soaking up the rain (ah), letting my hair down (uh-huh)

So I put my headphones on

Come, and put your headphones on

Wish my mom and dad could've been in love

Guess some things weren't meant to last forever

I compare my life to the new it girl

Jealousy's a riptide, it pulls me under

You can't fix what has already been broken

You just have to surrender to the moment

Guess I gotta accept the pain

Need a cigarette to make me feel better

Every good thing comes my way

So I still get dolled up

Guess I gotta accept the pain

Need a cigarette to make me feel better

Every good thing comes my way

So I

So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on)

Listen to my favorite song (listen to my favorite song)

Soaking up the rain (ah), letting my hair down (uh-huh)

So I put my headphones on

Come, and put your headphones on

Listen to my favorite song

I know the lows are what makes the highs higher

So, I tell myself this is a reminder

Life's no fun through clear waters

You can't fix what has already been broken

You just have to surrender to the moment

Guess I gotta accept the pain

Need a cigarette to make me feel better

Every good thing comes my way

So I still get dolled up

Guess I gotta accept the pain

Need a cigarette to make me feel better

Every good thing comes my way

So I

So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on)

Listen to my favorite song (listen to my favorite song)

Soaking up the rain (ah), letting my hair down (uh-huh)

So I put my headphones on

Cut the tears, cut the tears 'til the wheels fall off

You know I can't get enough

Cut the tears, cut the tears 'til the wheels fall off

You know I can't get enough

Cut the tears, cut the tears 'til the wheels fall off

You know I can't get enough

Cut the tears, cut the tears 'til the wheels fall off

'Til the wheels fall off

...
