Like a heart attack, I'm coming soon
I'll strike you down, when you're alone in your room
When you least expect me. I'll be there
I'm in your face, I'm in your hair
You thought you'd laid me to rest,
Now there's a lead weight in your chest,
I hold your heart in my fist,
I could tear it out, with a flick of my wrist.
Pain in your belly, pain in your head,
Painkillers ain't gonna do you any good, I'm already dead
Your hand is played, the dice is cast
Here I am coming at you pretty babe, I'm gonna make you mine at last
You thought you'd laid me to rest,
Now there's a lead weight in your chest,
I hold your heart in my fist,
I could tear it out, with a flick of my wrist.
I'm gonna give it and you're gonna get it
I'm gonna give it and you're gonna get it, tonight.
I'm gonna give it and you're gonna get it
I'm gonna give it and you're gonna get it, tonight.

Wish I knew the mystery... of why you ran to me
Wish I had a secret key... to keep you here with me
Wish I'd seen the warning signs... before you ran away from me
Wish I knew some slight of hand... to bring you back home to me

Lately, I’ve been breaking down so
Wound so tight, I can’t let go
I’ve been holding my breath down deep inside
Paralysed, just watching the water rise
But you called me, you came around, and you gave me some peace of mind
Get me back on that old straight line
Sometimes seeing through my eyes,
It’s like stormy dark skies
Even when the sun is high
But thinking of you brings me skies of blue
Lately, you’ve been on my mind
Yesterday, breaking up the cold cold ground,
I lost myself, listening to the sound
Distant thunder in the mountains headed this way
Feels like one strike of lightning could take this pain away
You walked me to the water’s very edge and you laughed out loud at the rain,
You touched my arm, and spoke my name
Sometimes seeing through my eyes,
It’s like stormy dark skies
Even when the sun is high
But thinking of you brings me skies of blue
Lately, you’ve been on
Lately, you’ve been on
Lately, you’ve been on my mind
