Beating Me Up

Rachel Platten

4

We threw words like they were sharp knives

Fell like we tripped over a landmine

You said we lost love

You made your mind up

And I just got quiet, my body went numb

And I pretend that I can handle it and if I hold my head up, I won't drown

Can't let go, you're like the chemical, you're racing through me

My heart just pounds, pounds, pounds...

It's getting louder and louder

Every time I think about you, about you

I'll be better off without you, without you

I wish my heart would stop, I wish my heart would stop

Beating me up

Beating me up

Beating me up

You've moved on, I know I should too

My cuts are all gone, my pain feels brand new

Who turned the lights down? Who took my flashlight?

Why does my heart sound like it might burst tonight?

It's getting louder and louder

Every time I think about you, about you

I'll be better off without you, without you

I wish my heart would stop, wish my heart would stop

Beating me up

Beating me up

Beating me up

I wish my heart would stop

I wish my heart would stop

I won't let you get the best of me

How'd my heart become my enemy?

I won't let you get the best of me

How'd my heart become my enemy?

It's getting louder (louder, louder) every time I think about you (about you, about you)

I'll be better off without you (without you, without you)

I wish my heart would stop

I wish my heart would stop

Beating me up

Beating me up

Beating me up

Whoa, whoa

Wish my heart would

Wish my heart would stop

Beating me up

Beating me up
