Can you turn the music up a little bit, please?
Kill me
It takes a lot to kill me
Flashback
Broken bottles in a trash bag
The rush when you're about to fall
I feel when I remember it all
I prayed that I would never have to see you again
But now you're standing just an inch from my face
And your drop of crazy is all I can taste
But what you don't know is I came out of the dark
I know exactly how to shake you, to shake you up
Now you're standing just an inch from my face
And your drop of crazy is all I can taste
But what you don't know is I came out of the dark
I know how to shake you, to shake you up
To shake you up
To shake you up
Watch it
Oh, how good it feels to do this
Like you did
The difference is that you deserve it
No rush
I got the power tonight, and you are on the losing side
But I'll never forget how you tore me down
But now you're standing just an inch from my face
And your drop of crazy is all I can taste
But what you don't know is I came out of the dark
I know exactly how to shake you, to shake you up
Now you're standing just an inch from my face
And your drop of crazy is all I can taste
But what you don't know is I came out of the dark
I know how to shake you, to shake you up
To shake you up
To shake you up
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be the victim?
How does it feel?
I know, 'cause you did this to me
Oh, yeah, yeah
Now you're standing just an inch from my face (yeah, yeah)
And your drop of crazy is all I can taste (oh, oh)
But what you don't know is I came out of the dark (dark)
I know exactly how to shake you, to shake you up (oh, yeah)
Now you're reaching out to take my hand (takin' my hand)
You don't know you're standing on sinking sand (on sinking sand)
I learned from the best, so I know exactly how to shake you, how to shake you up
I'm gonna shake (gonna shake)
I'm gonna shake (you up)
(I'm gonna shake, gonna shake, gonna shake you up)
(I'm gonna shake, gonna shake, gonna shake you up)
I'm gonna shake you!
I'm gonna shake (gonna shake, gonna shake you up) yeah
