Lyrics
Aim, throw your best shot right at me
'Cause pain, I can take it easily
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?
'Cause whoa, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight
And whoa, the air is on fire
This room feels electric, caught here in your sights
Power, power
I will never understand the power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
Pain, just synapses firing in our brain
So when you cut me, cut me deep
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
'Cause in time we show our Achilles's heels
And whoa, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your cold bare hands, they hold too tight
And whoa, the air is on fire
This room feels electric, caught here in your sights
Power, power
I will never understand the power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder (hit me, hit me harder)
'Cause you better knock me out the first time
And if you're gonna do this, rip the plaster (do this, rip the plaster)
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this
Power, power
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me
Power, power
I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me
Power, power
Well you've had it too long, yes you've had it too long
Power, oh, oh, power, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Power, power
I let you have it too long, yes you've had it too long
