[Intro]
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
[Verse 1]
I go out of my mind, thinking 'bout what I used to be
I got a picture in my head, but it's not what I like to see
And then this big black cloud came down to smother me
I was left with no choice but to care about company
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So tell me what you want, tell me want you want
Why have you come for me? (Why have you come for me?)
'Cause I was fine before you came to my door
Now it's my blood you see
[Chorus]
Mother, can you help me?
I've been locked up, can't escape it
Have I done wrong? Am I guilty?
Why do I feel like I'm suffocating?
Oh, what does he want from me?
Said, "I don't know," but he won't leave
So I guess I got bad company
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
[Verse 2]
I've been lying in my bed, but I haven't slept a wink
When I try to close my eyes, yeah, my mind, it just overthinks
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So tell me what you want, tell me what you want
Is this just fun for you? (Is this just fun for you?)
'Cause I know that it's not, I know that it's not
Because I am you
[Chorus]
Mother, can you help me?
I've been locked up, can't escape it
Have I done wrong? Am I guilty?
Why do I feel like I'm suffocating?
Oh, what does he want from me?
Said, "I don't know," but he won't leave
So I guess I got bad company
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm trying to scream, it feels like a dream
No sound comes out, no one's to be seen
But I know I'm not alone
Yeah, I know I'm not alone
And you talk to me with your violent tongue
But I won't react 'cause I'll look psycho
This can't keep going on
No, this can't keep going on
[Chorus]
Mother, can you help me?
I've been locked up, can't escape it
Have I done wrong? Am I guilty?
Why do I feel like I'm suffocating?
Mother, can you help me?
I've been locked up, can't escape it
Have I done wrong? Am I guilty?
Why do I feel like I'm suffocating?
Oh, what does he want from me?
Said, "I don't know," but he won't leave
So I guess I got bad company?
[Outro]
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
(Got bad company)
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh
(Got bad company)
