Sabotage (Clean Edit) Lyrics

[Intro]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I mess it up

[Verse 1]
Tell myself I'm safe and lonely
With nobody else to break my heart
Even though I know you'd never
I'm my own worst enemy and think you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Matches in my back pocket
I'm the queen of burnin' bridges
I will only let you down

[Chorus]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I mess it up
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
The walls are closin' in because I built them up

[Verse 2]
Why can't I let myself bе happy?
Why do I gotta get in my own way?
My shoes are worn out, always runnin'
From thе reasons that I really wanna stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Matches in my back pocket
I'm the queen of burnin' bridges
I will only let you down

[Chorus]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I mess it up
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
The walls are closin' in because I built them up

[Bridge]
So don't let me hope too high
Don't let me hope too high
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
Don't let me hope too high
When everything is right
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
I sabotage everything I love
It's always beautiful until I mess it up

[Chorus]
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
It's always beautiful until I mess k it up
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
The walls are closin' in because I built them up
[Outro]
Why do I sabotage?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
