Fever
[Chorus]
Fever 'cause I'm breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again

It used to be a blessing
But fever's got me stressing
Realize I am to blame
But fever let me play the game
Fever
[Chorus]
Fever cause I'm breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again
[Outro]
Now if the cold pale light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave her
Now if the cold pale light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave her
