[Verse 1]
Can't be breaking down, no, I barely cry
'Cause I'm too worn out, got me half alive
Friends are phasing out, always say goodbye
Am I losing touch? Do I feel enough? But I know if I
[Chorus]

Start spinnin' out of control (Psycho central)
If I was sentimental, I'd be losing my mind
Lose my mind, lose my mind, lose my mind, ooh
[Verse 2]
Scream, it makes no sounds
I could testify, explainin' how time has bled me dry
You say I'm vacant now when it's justified
If you called my bluff, I could lose your love and I know I'd be fine
[Chorus]
If I was sentimental (I'd go mental)
Start spinnin' out of control (Psycho central)
If I was sentimental, I'd be losing my mind
Lose my mind, losе my mind, lose my mind, ooh
If I was sentimental (I'd go mеntal)
Start spinnin' out of control (Psycho central)
If I was sentimental, I'd be losing my mind
Lose my mind, lose my mind, lose my mind, ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
If I was sentimental
If I was sentimental
If I was sentimental, I'd be losing my mind
Lose my mind, ooh
[Chorus]
If I was sentimental (I'd go mental)
Start spinnin' out of control (Psycho central)
If I was sentimental, I'd be losing my mind
Lose my mind, lose my mind, lose my mind, ooh
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (I'd go mental)
Lose my mind, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Psycho central)
Lose my mind
