Reverse Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And in my ignorance I thought that I found bliss
Yeah, I was drunk tonight when I thought I caught a glimpse of you
Up on the rooftop painting pictures of memories
And I know you lied to me, but I love the stories

[Pre-Chorus]
Holding out for something more
Like a drug that I abuse
It's crazy but it's all we know
It's broken but it's true, yeah

[Chorus]
You can save my life if you stay all night
But you don't owe me in the morning
You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat
But you never gonna own it
Let me know, let me know
Are you out?
Are you in?
Will you say so?
Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
Stuck in reverse

[Verse 2]
Your broken glass shines like diamonds in the street
It's a brilliant distraction from all of this deceit
And I, I think it's crazy how we took it way too far
Is it naive to wanna hit rewind, and get back to the start?
[Pre-Chorus]
Holding out for something more
Like a drug that I abuse
It's crazy but it's all we know
It's broken but it's true, yeah

[Chorus]
You can save my life if you stay all night
But you don't owe me in the morning
You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat
But you never gonna own it
Let me know, let me know
Are you out?
Are you in?
Will you say so?
Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
Stuck in reverse

[Bridge]
You're a long way from everybody
You're the one that's brokenhearted
Can you even see what you're do to me?
If you're stuck in the middle of all the hurt and you've had enough
All it takes is one word
All it takes is one word
[Chorus]
You can save my life if you stay all night
But you don't owe me in the morning
You could read my mind, you could make my heartbeat
But you never gonna own it
Let me know, let me know
Are you out?
Are you in?
Will you say so?
Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
Stuck in reverse

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 [?]
