Keep Me Up - Charlotte Lawrence

My heart starts beating and my hands start sweating

My chest starts sinking and sometimes will even start shaking

It’s physical and emotional

(And it’s hard)

You’re keeping me awake at night

I’m losing all my appetite

My heart is beating out of time

My skin is cold, my chest is tight

You’re keeping me awake at night

And I don’t want you all inside my head

And I can feel you running through my veins

When I say, and I say, and I say that

«I want you in my life»

But you stay, and you stay, and you stay

And you never leave my side

And you take, and you take, and you take

And you say you feel so nice, boy

And you keep me up all night

No, I say, and I say, and I say

«I don’t want you in my life»

But you stay, and you stay, and you stay

And you never leave my side

And you take, and you take, and you take

And you say you feel so nice, boy

(And you keep me up all night)

My mind keeps looking for a way

To find somebody else to blame

The silence’s screaming way too loud

I need something to dim it down

To find a way to block the sound

And I don’t want you all inside my head

And I can feel you running through my veins

When I say, and I say, and I say that

«I want you in my life»

But you stay, and you stay, and you stay

And you never leave my side

And you take, and you take, and you take

And you say you feel so nice, boy

And you keep me up all night

No, I say, and I say, and I say

«I don’t want you in my life»

But you stay, and you stay, and you stay

And you never leave my side

And you take, and you take, and you take

And you say you feel so nice, boy

And you keep me up all night

Keep me up all night, boy, keep me up all night

Keep me up all night, boy, keep me up all night

Keep me up all night, boy, keep me up all night

Keep me up all night, boy, keep me up all night

When I say, and I say, and I say that

«I want you in my life»

But you stay, and you stay, and you stay

And you never leave my side

And you take, and you take, and you take

And you say you feel so nice, boy

And you keep me up all night

No, I say, and I say, and I say

«I don’t want you in my life»

But you stay, and you stay, and you stay

And you never leave my side

And you take, and you take, and you take

And you say you feel so nice, boy

And you keep me up all night

If I knew why, maybe it would all just go away

I don’t think anyone really knows why

But we do go on

And we do understand that you can’t always understand

And that’s okay too
