Sabotage | Lyrics

Your eyes are weapons with a look, I feel emotionalDon't like confessing, but I think about it every damn nightEvery damn nightYou teach me lessons 'bout myself that no one's ever taughtYou've really playing with my confidenceAnd, baby, that's fineYeah, that's fine

But I always let love go (always let love go)My intention's only good thoughBut you pierce through my heartLike no one else has done, so

If I die in your armsWouldn't care 'bout heaven at allUntil my time's up, I swearI'll try my best to not sabotage what we got'Cause we're perfect the way that we areMight make a mess but I swearI'll try my best to not sabotage this

You make me wanna be somebody that I've never beenNow when I look into the mirror, I'm not seeing myselfBut in a good way'Cause every inch of you's fucking perfectYou were the door I couldn't open, now I can't lock itI wanna keep your love forever, sealed in a bottleWe'd be the only ones who'd open it when we wanna

If I die in your armsWouldn't care 'bout heaven at allUntil my time's up, I swearI'll try my best to not sabotage what we got'Cause we're perfect the way that we areMight make a mess, but I swearI'll try my best to not sabotage this

No, oh, ohTry my best to not sabotage thisOoh, ooh, oohNo, no, no, no, no

If I die in your armsWouldn't care 'bout heaven at allUntil my time's up, I swearI'll try my best to not sabotage this
