Slow Grenade lyrics

[Verse 1: Ellie Goulding]

Help me, my God, this got messy

Least I got the best seat

'Cause we put on one hell of a show

Waiting, I just keep on waiting

For the final curtain

'Cause I just can't let go of your love

[Pre-Chorus: Ellie Goulding]

Ooh

You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh

Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh

[Chorus: Ellie Goulding]

Slow grenade is blowing up my mistakes

So why don't I, why don't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must want it

That's why I'm not running from it

Can't escape this blowing up

In my face so why can't I

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

[Verse 2: Lauv with Ellie Goulding]

Crazy, late nights in the city

Drink until you hate me

Then say that I should just let you go

But hold on, why do we still hold on?

Think that we should move on

But we're too scared of being alone, ooh (Being alone)

[Pre-Chorus: Ellie Goulding, Lauv]

Ooh

You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh

Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh

[Chorus: Ellie Goulding & Lauv]

Slow grenade is blowing up my mistakes

So why don't I, why don't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must want it

That's why I'm not running from it

Can't escape this blowing up

In my face so why can't I

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

[Post-Chorus]

Ah-ooh, ah-ooh

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

[Bridge: Ellie Goulding & Lauv]

Help me, my God, this got messy

Least I got the best seat

'Cause we put on one hell of a show, woah, yeah

[Chorus: Ellie Goulding & Lauv]

Slow grenade is blowing up my mistakes

So why don't I, why don't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must want it

That's why I'm not running from it

Can't escape this blowing up

In my face so why can't I

Why can't I stop it? (Hey)

Still got time for me to stop it (Hey)

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

[Post-Chorus]

Ah-ooh, ah-ooh (Oh)

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it
