[English]

When you say you want me, I just lose control

I'm out of my body, feels like vertigo

High up on the ceilin', ready to explode

My hands, they lose all feelin' when I hold you close

Keep me in the dark when you love me harder

Smash my heart like a pi-piñata

The sweetest scar tearin' me apart

Yeah, you smash my heart, yeah, you smash my heart

Keep me in the dark when you love me harder

Smash my heart like a pi-piñata

The sweetest scar tearin' me apart

Yeah, you smash my heart, yeah, you smash my heart

Like a pi-piñata

Pi-piñata

Pi-piñata

When you smash my heart, when you smash my heart

The colors, the rush when we collide

Open me up, there's magic inside

Lost in the crush, I come alive

When you smash my heart, when you smash my heart

Keep me in the dark when you love me harder

Smash my heart like a pi-piñata

The sweetest scar tearin' me apart

Yeah, you smash my heart, yeah, you smash my heart

Keep me in the dark when you love me harder

Smash my heart like a pi-piñata

The sweetest scar tearin' me apart

Yeah, you smash my heart, yeah, you smash my heart

Like a, like a

Like a, like a

Like a, like a

Like a, like a

Like a, like a

Like a, like a

Yeah, you smash my heart, yeah, you smash my heart

Keep me in the dark when you love me harder

Smash my heart like a pi-piñata

The sweetest scar tearin' me apart

Yeah, you smash my heart, yeah, you smash my heart

Like a pi-piñata

Pi-piñata

Pi-piñata

When you smash my heart, when you smash my heart

Pi-piñata

Pi-piñata

Pi-piñata

When you smash my heart, when you smash my heart
