Kills You Slowly

The Chainsmokers
Made plans with me and all your friends
I'm late again, I hate to keep you waiting
Tried to be a gentleman, got drunk again before I even made it
Tried to call a car for you, you're tired of me
I know you wouldn't take it
You walked a mile in Louis Vuitton and fucked 'em up
You know that they're my favorite
But we dress up and play pretend
Then we act like we're good again
I do things I can't defend
And even when you hold it in

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly


Explosions, hidden when we're in the open
Keep on smilin' until it's over
Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

Arguments that never end


You're talkin' shit to spice up conversation
I'm so sick of back and forth
These fights with you are startin' to feel contagious
Said that I'm no good for you
Right before we walk into your parents
Then you put on that smile again
And grab my hand even though you hate it

But we dress up and play pretend


Then we act like we're good again
I do things I can't defend
And even when you hold it in

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly


Explosions, hidden when we're in the open
Keep on smilin' until it's over
Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said


You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't
Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said
You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly


Explosions hidden when we're in the open
And keep on smilin' until it's over
Hold it, even though it kills you slowly

Hold it, even though it kills you slowly (Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said)
(You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)
Explosions hidden when we're in the open (Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said)
(You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)
Keep on smilin' (Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said)
Until it's over (You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)
Holdin' even though it kills you slowly (Oh, but, but it, it won't, but I said)
(You hold on, hopin' it gon' stop, but it don't)

The One

The Chainsmokers
You know, I'm sorry
I won't make it to your party
Got caught up in my own selfishness
It won't let me be a part of this
And I know I've started
Drifting off every second
I can't wait to leave as soon as I arrive
I count the seconds
Down and down we go
We'll torch this place we know
Before one of us takes a chance
And breaks this, I won't be the one
No, I won't be the one

I know it's pathetic


Fuck it, yeah, I said it
Tried to tell it like it is
There's a chance that I'll regret it, so
Let's go, let's end this
I delete before I send it
And we can play pretend
Like we haven't reached the end yet

Down and down we go


And we'll torch this place we know
Before one of us takes a chance
And breaks this, I won't be the one
No, I won't be the one

No, I won't be the one


No, I won't be the one

Break Up Every Night


The Chainsmokers
She wants to break up every night
She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it
"Give me time, give me space, give me reason"
That's what you tell me when you're leaving
Change your mind every night like the seasons
You're insatiable

And I know you say you want it now (want it now)


Give me the runaround (runaround)
Which one am I with now
She's got seven personalities, everyone's a tragedy

She wants to break up every night


She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

Been to France one time and you're Parisian


Joined the real world, new season
Check my phone, check my pulse, ain't a reason
I kinda love it though

And I know you say you leave me now (leave me now)


Give me the runaround (runaround)
Which one am I with now
She's got seven personalities, every one's a tragedy

She wants to break up every night


She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

She wants to break up every night


She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it

So I build bridges up, the bridges up


Build the bridges up again
Build bridges up, the bridges up
Build the bridges up again
Build bridges up, the bridges up
Build the bridges up again, oh

She wants to break up every night


She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it
She wants to break up every night
Then tries to fuck me back to life
I cannot help it if I like the way she makes me feel it

Bloodstream

The Chainsmokers
I've been drunk three times this week
Spent all my money on a fleeting moment
I thought I-I-I-I-I-I can shake this off
Now I-I-I-I-I-I can't make this stop
Yeah, things were sweet three months ago
When I was living how I wanna on my own
And I thought I-I-I-I-I-I don't need that much
I guess I-I-I-I-I-I was out of touch
I'm fucked up, I'm faded
I'm so complicated
Those things that I said
They were so overrated
But I-I-I-I-I-I, yeah, I meant it
Oh yeah, I-I-I-I-I-I, really fucking meant it

Yeah, I meant it

I gave up three times this week


Went through those feelings
Like I wasn't worth nothing
I thought I-I-I-I-I-I can shake this off
No, I-I-I-I-I-I can't be this soft

I'm fucked up, I'm faded


I'm so complicated
Those things that I said
They were so overrated
But I-I-I-I-I-I, yeah, I meant it
Oh yeah, I-I-I-I-I-I, really fucking meant it

Yeah, I meant it
I'm fucked up, I'm faded
I'm so complicated
Those things that I said
They were so overrated
But I-I-I-I-I, yeah, I meant it
Oh yeah, I-I-I-I-I, really fucking meant it

Yeah, I meant it
Yeah, I meant it
Yeah, I meant it
Yeah, I meant it
Yeah, I, I, I, really fucking meant it

Don't Say

The Chainsmokers
Dropping bombs in cups of coffee
You said it hits you all at once
I'm already tired and it's the morning
Then you clear your throat
Deep down I know that this is done
You tell me you're sorry and I'm laughing
You say sometimes these things just don't work out
'Cause you're only human, this shit happens
Wait, I don't mean to stop you
But darling, I have to cut you off

Don't say, don't say you're human


Don't say, don't say it's not your fault
I won't take the bait or these excuses that you're using
So, don't say, don't say you're human

Don't say
Don't say
Don't say
Don't say
Don't say you're human

You say you've regret the way you acted


Come on, admit you let me down
Say that I'm better in your absence
Go right ahead, say almost anything you want

Just don't say, don't say you're human


Don't say, don't say it's not your fault
I won't take the bait or these excuses that you're using
So, don't say, don't say you're human

Don't say
Don't say
Don't say
Don't say
Don't say you're human

Don't say, don't say you're human


Don't say, don't say it's not your fault
I won't take the bait or these excuses that you're using
So, don't say, don't say you're human

Just don't say, don't say you're human


Don't say, don't say it's not your fault
I won't take the bait or these excuses that you're using
So, don't say, don't say you're human

Don't say
Don't say
Don't say
No way
Don't say you're human

No way, no way you're human

Something Just Like This

Coldplay, The Chainsmokers
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
But she said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss

I want something just like this


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this

I want something just like this

I've been reading books of old


The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

She said, where'd you wanna go?


How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss

I want something just like this


I want something just like this

I want something just like this


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Where'd you wanna go?


How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this

Oh, I want something just like this


Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this

My Type

The Chainsmokers
You don't gotta say it, I know you ain't stayin' over
And I won't even mention the fact that you're never sober
I never know which side I'm gonna get tonight
And the closer we get, the less I think I know you
But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

And I'm foolin' myself, 'cause I know that I'll never change ya
But you told me the truth, so I guess I can't really blame ya
No, you're not the one, but you're all I want, yeah
People say I'll get hurt, I don't know what they're so afraid of

But you're just my type


The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

But you're just my type


The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

Yeah, you're just my type (oh, I hate to say it, but you're)
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

My type
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type
My type
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type

It Won't Kill Ya

The Chainsmokers
I know as the night goes on
You might end up with someone
So why do I bite my tongue?
Oh, I wanna know ya
I'm lookin' around the room
Is one of those strangers you?
And do you notice me too?
Oh, I wanna know ya
you're a face I won't forget
(I want ya) don't know how much time is left
(I want ya) haven't had a moment yet
Ooh

Oh, dance with me, it won't kill ya


And one for the road
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one before you go
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
So why won't you stay a little longer?

Dance with me
Dance with me
(Mon amour)

You're putting your jacket on


Oh no, is the moment gone?
Don't wanna regret this one
Ooh, I wanna know ya

you're a face I won't forget


(I want ya) don't know how much time is left
(I want ya) haven't had a moment yet
Ooh

Oh, dance with me, it won't kill ya


And one for the road
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one before you go
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
So why won't you stay a little longer?

Dance with me
(Mon amour)
Dance with me
(Mon amour)

I know as the night goes on


You might end up with someone
So why do I bite my tongue?
Ooh, I wanna know ya

Oh, dance with me, it won't kill ya


And one for the road
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one before you go
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
So why won't you stay a little longer?

So why don't you just stay a little longer?


So why don't you just stay a little longer?
Woah, woah, yeah
So why don't you just stay a little longer?

So why don't you just stay a little longer?

Paris

The Chainsmokers
We were staying in Paris
To get away from your parents
And I thought, "Wow
If I could take this in a shot right now
I don't think that we could work this out”
Out on the terrace
I don't know if it's fair but I thought "How
Could I let you fall by yourself
While I'm wasted with someone else”
If we go down then we go down together
They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

We were staying in Paris


To get away from your parents
You look so proud
Standing there with a frown and a cigarette
Posting pictures of yourself on the internet
Out on the terrace
We breathe in the air of this small town
On our own cuttin' class for the thrill of it
Getting drunk on the past we were livin' in

If we go down then we go down together


They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

Let's show them we are


Show them we are
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are better
We were staying in Paris
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are
Show them we are
Let's show them we are better

If we go down then we go down together


They'll say you could do anything
They'll say that I was clever
If we go down then we go down together
We'll get away with everything
Let's show them we are better

We were staying in Paris (If we go down)


We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
We were staying in Paris (If we go down)
Let's show them we are better
We were staying in Paris

Let's show them we are better


Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
If we go down
Let's show them we are better
Let's show them we are better

Honest

The Chainsmokers
It's five A.M. and I'm on the radio
I'm supposed to call you, but I don't know what to say at all
And there's this girl, she wants me to take her home
She don't really love me though, I'm just on the radio
And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
'Cause I think about it every night I'm not sober, and
I know I keep these feelings to myself
Like I don't need nobody else
But you're not the only one on my mind

If I'm being honest


If I'm being honest
You said I should be honest
So I'm being honest

It's six A.M., I'm so far away from you


I don't wanna let you down, what am I supposed to do?
It's been three weeks at least, now, since I've been gone
And I don't even like the road, I'm just on the radio

And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it


'Cause I think about it every night I'm not sober, and
I know I keep these feelings to myself
Like I don't need nobody else
But you're not the only one on my mind

If I'm being honest


If I'm being honest
You said I should be honest
So I'm being honest

And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it


'Cause I think about it every night I'm not sober, and
I know I keep these feelings to myself
Like I don't need nobody else
But you're not the only one on my mind

If I'm being honest


If I'm being honest
You said I should be honest
So I'm being honest

If I'm being honest

Wake Up Alone

The Chainsmokers
Now I got cars, now I got clothes, now I got money
Now I got crowds screamin' my name sayin' they love me
You got real close, say I'm not alone, you understand me
But late at night, when I close my eyes, the quiet scares me
Will you still care in the morning?
When the magic's gone, gone, oh?
And will you be there in the morning?
Do you stay when it all goes?
Or will I wake up alone?
Wake up alone
Wake up alone

I don't need cars, I don't need clothes, forget that money


'Cause if I go home all on my own, it ain't worth nothing

Will you still care in the morning? (when the magic's all gone?)
When the magic's gone, gone, oh?
And will you be there in the morning?
Do you stay when it all goes?
Or will I wake up alone?

Wake up alone
Wake up alone
Wake up alone
Wake up alone

Will you still care in the morning?


When the magic's gone, gone, oh?
And will you be there in the morning?
Do you stay when it all goes?
Or will I wake up alone?

Wake up alone
Wake up alone, yeah
Wake up alone
Or will I wake up alone?

Young

The Chainsmokers
Young
We were so young when we thought that we knew how to love
Fought about anything, everything led to dysfunction
But we just gotta own that shit
Don't let it go like this
Maybe we can go from this, yeah
We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car
And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young

Caught, we were caught up in the high, it was better than drugs


Too high to see that it would all lead to destruction
At least we both know that shit
We just gotta own that shit
I hope that we can go from this, yeah

We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car


And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young


Yeah, yeah, it's hard when you're young

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over


Say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

We both know I go too far like when I wrecked your car


And almost fought your father when he pushed me in the yard
And all those nights we snuck out, like to meet up at the bar
Don't worry, my love, we're learning to love
But it's hard when you're young

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over


Say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

Yeah, it's hard when you're young


Yeah, it's hard when you're young
Yeah, yeah, yeah it's hard when you're young

I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over


You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young
I'm calling you up, you tell me it's over
You say what you want, but it's hard when you're young

Last Day Alive

The Chainsmokers
Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never
Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive
Bottled up in adolescence
Bottom up forbidden essence
Twisted up in adolescence
Waking up within your arms
Feel alive and dangerous
You're dangerous, we're dangerous

Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never


Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive

Now or never, it's now or never


Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)

Promises within the air


Drowning in love affair
The night is young and we are young

Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never


Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive

Now or never, it's now or never


Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
The last day alive

Run into the bright lights most nights, now or never


Always and forever the last day alive
The last day alive

Now or never, it's now or never


Now or never, it's now or never (the last day alive)
Now or never, it's now or never
Now or never, it's now or never
The last day alive
The last day alive
The last day alive
