[Verse 1]
A never-ending story
We end up where we begin (Hmm, hmm)
'Cause once you love somebody
You can never be just friends (Hmm, hmm)
And I think it's kinda funny
How we always end up running
Back to each other
Like we love to suffer
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere along the way, I get lonely
Sometimes I just need someone to hold me
[Chorus]
We trick ourselves for the moment
But we know whеre this is going
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Just a taste of instant pleasurе
Desperate times and desperate measures
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Picture perfect doesn't last
Want to leave you in the past
My love for you just won't die fast
My love for you just won't die fast
[Verse 2]
It's a losing game, we
Always end up at the start (Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
I try to stop it but I
Always miss you when it's dark (Hmm, hmm)
'Cause now it's seven in the morning
And we spent seven hours pouring
Our hearts to each other
Like we love to suffer
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere along the way, I get lonely
Sometimes I just need someone to hold me
[Chorus]
We trick ourselves for the moment
But we know where this is going
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Just a taste of instant pleasure
Desperate times and desperate measures
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Picture perfect doesn't last
Want to leave you in the past
My love for you just won't die fast
My love for you just won't die fast
[Bridge]
I couldn't stop it if I tried
When you're around I feel most alive
Sure as the raindrops fall from the sky
My love for you won't die
I couldn't stop it if I tried
When you're around I feel most alive
Sure as a heart that beats in time
My love for you won't die
[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere along the way, I got lonely
You are the one that I want to hold me
[Chorus]
We trick ourselves for the moment
But we know where this is going (We know)
Just a taste of instant pleasure
Desperate times and desperate measures
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Picture perfect doesn't last
Want to leave you in the past
My love for you just won't die fast
My love for you just won't die fast
[Outro]
My love for you just won't die fast
Die Fast was written by Ruth B. & Patrick Wimberly & Khaya Cohen.
Die Fast was produced by Khaya Cohen & Justin Raisen & Patrick Wimberly.
This song started as the slowest ballad that I had written for the album—it was just super sad and gut-wrenching. But Patrick and Khaya [Cohen], who I collaborated on this one with, heard it and they were like, “We could make this into something fun!” I love pairing sad lyrics with happy melodies, a...
