Lyrics
Verse:
I like the way you
Stay in my brain
String me along
I don’t care if it’s wrong
I wanna be dumb once
I’m only young once
I always play safe
Give me a heartbreak
Pre-Chorus:
I know we won’t make it
But I promise I can take it
You’re like really, really hot
So I’ll do it for the plot
Chorus:
Come on
I’ve been craving chaos
I’ve been feeling so sad
Need a boy who’s real bad
Go on
Treat me like I’m nothing
I’ll just keep on crushing
I don’t care how you impact me
As long you distract me
Verse:
I like the way you
Take up my brain
No space for my thoughts
Just take my clothes off
You’re such a blessing
You keep me guessing
Blow me off, put me through hell
I don’t care, I’m your bombshell
Pre-Chorus:
I know we won’t make it
But I promise I can take it
You’re like really, really hot
So I’ll do it for the plot
Chorus:
Come on
I’ve been craving chaos
I’ve been feeling so sad
Need a boy who’s real bad
Go on
Treat me like I’m nothing
I’ll just keep on crushing
Don’t care how you impact me
As long you distract me
As long as you distract me
As long as you distract me
