Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Help me, my God, this got messy
Least I got the best seat
'Cause we put on one hell of a show
Waiting, I just keep on waiting for the final curtain
'Cause I just can't let go of your love
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[PreChorus]
You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh
Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh
[Chorus]
Slow grenade, it's blowing up my mistakes
So why don't I, why don't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must want it
That's why I'm not running from it
Can't escape this blowing up
In my face, so why can't I, why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 2]
Crazy, late nights in the city, drink until you hate me
Then say that I should just let you go
But hold on, why do we still hold on?
Think that we should move on
But we're too scared of being alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[PreChorus]
You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh
Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh
[Chorus]
Slow grenade, it's blowing up my mistakes
So why don't I, why don't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must want it
That's why I'm not running from it
Can't escape this blowing up
In my face, so why can't I, why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 3]
Why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Verse 4]
Help me, my God, this got messy
Least I got the best seat
'Cause we put on one hell of a show, whoa, yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, slow grenade, it's blowing up my mistakes
So why don't I, why don't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must want it
That's why I'm not running from it
Can't escape this blowing up
In my face, so why can't I, why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
[Outro]
Why can't I stop it?
Still got time for me to stop it
It's like a part of me must love it
That's why I'm not running from it
