Stop Me (Stop You) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Keep waking up in the night
When my ears turn red, I heard some shit that I said
You're probably trying to be nice
I'm not cold, I just been through way worse times
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not dreaming now
I'm in control
You can't bring me down
[Chorus]
You can't stop me
I made it this far, alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do 'fore I wait on you, oh
You can't stop me
I made it this far, alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do 'fore I wait on you, oh
[Verse 2]
I couldn't keep it alive
I can't help myself, I had to be what I got or be gone
I'm trying to make this a life
Better known for somebody, better gone with the light
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not dreaming now
Don't need control
You can't bring me down
[Chorus]
You can't stop me
I made it this far, alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do
'Fore I wait on you, oh
You can't stop me
I made it this far, alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do
'Fore I wait on you, oh
You can't stop me
I made it this far, alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do
'Fore I wait on you, oh
You can't stop me
I made it this far, alright
I can't help it
Got things I need to do
'Fore I wait on you, oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
If you're down and out
I believe in nothing like some higher ground
Always something wrong can make it right
Not wrong, you're right
So trust me, there's something left inside
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you run the world
You will never waste a space
You'll be in and out of love
About a million different ways
And everybody's talking
Yeah, they wonder what you do
Trying to make it easy
Take it all away from you
[Chorus]
They can't stop you
You made it this far, alright
You can't help it
Got things you need to do 'fore they wait on you
[Verse 4]
If you're going out
Start to realise not much to talk about
Trying to fit yourself inside the door
Not there no more
Trust me, what you're feeling is the right way forward
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you run the world
You will never waste a space
You'll be in and out of love
About a million different ways
And everybody's talking
Yeah, they wonder what you do
Trying to make it easy
Take it all away from you
[Chorus]
They can't stop you
You made it this far, alright
You can't help it
Got things you need to do
'Fore they wait on you
They can't stop you
You made it this far, alright
You can't help it
Got things you need to do
'Fore they wait on you
