Paloma Faith
If You Don’t (Somebody Else Will)
[Verse 1]
Everybody's talking 'bout the ending of the world
So you better think about the last moments with your girl
'Cause I'm tired of all this arguing, no more crying
I remember once, when you were king and I was queen
We lived a life so colorful, filled up with extremes
Now we're holding on to a path that's slowly dying
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you take that gun and put a shot through my heart?
Don't wanna live like this, I wanna tear it apart
'Cause every time I take a step, I get swallowed by the dark
[Chorus]
If you don't, somebody else will blow up in my heart
Somebody else will make me see stars
Oh, they will if you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
If you don't, somebody else will make tears turn to glass
Somebody else will not let this thing pass
Somebody else will, oh, they will
If you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
[Verse 2]
There will always be someone who wants just what you got
And all our glory days are the ones that you forgot
Oh, you must not let us fade away, keep on trying
I wanna feel the thunder, feel the wind and feel the rain
Want you to touch me and set off a hurricane
I am yours to take, but you must work hard, no more lying
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you take that gun and put a shot through my heart?
Don't wanna live like this, I wanna tear it apart
'Cause every time I take a step, I get swallowed by the dark
(By the dark)
[Chorus]
If you don't, somebody else will blow up in my heart
Somebody else will make me see stars
Oh, they will if you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
If you don't, somebody else will make tears turn to glass
Somebody else will not let this thing pass
Somebody else will, yes, they will
If you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
[Bridge]
Oh, I don't wanna be taken for granted
Don't stamp out the seeds that we planted
Lay my body down
Won't you kiss my crown?
Take me away from here
[Chorus]
If you don't, somebody else will blow up in my heart
Somebody else will make me see stars
Oh, they will if you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
If you don't, somebody else will make tears turn to glass
Somebody else will not let this thing pass
Somebody else will, yes, they will
If you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
[Outro]
If you don't, somebody else will blow up in my heart
Somebody else will make me see stars
Somebody else will
Yes, they will if you don't, if you don't, woo-ooh
