My Head's a Prison and Nobody Visits Songtext

von You Me At Six

I wrote this song, just to piss you off*
This is a war between my body and tongue,
You think you got it,
Come, show us what you've got.

I move away and watch you move through the walls,
If this is a game, then I'll sit out,
Everyone's a winner,
With a heart that small.

Keep me up, keep me up,
Oh I won't sleep tonight,
These rules were made so long,
And you know they're right.

I saw her coming like a storm,
I saw her come like I did before,
The weight of the world is on my shoulders,
But I just need someone else to hold it.

And I don't know why we're here,
Is it to love of love and fear,
Everyone's a winner,
With a heart that small.

Keep me up, keep me up,
Oh I won't sleep tonight,
These rules were made so long,
And you know they're right.

Give her up, give her up,
Cause you're gonna die tonight,
She'll lead you on, spit you out,
Just to prove that she is right.

And I know it was wrong to lie,
But I need you to keep us alive,
So if you and I collide,
Which one of us,
Which one of us,
Will survive?

Keep me up, keep me up,
Oh I won't sleep tonight,
These rules were made so long,
And you know they're right.

Give her up, give her up,
Cause you're gonna die tonight,
She'll lead you on, spit you out,
Just to prove that she is right.

Oh we know, we know it's right.
We know,
Know, we know it's right.
And it's right.

Know, we know it's right.
We know,
Know, we know it's right.
And it's right.
