Lyrics Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding

Slow Grenade

Help me, my God this got messy

Least I got the best seat

'Cause we put on one hell of a show

Waiting, I just keep on waiting

For the final curtain

'Cause I just can't let go of your love

You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh

Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh

Slow grenade it's blowing up my mistakes

So why don't I, why don't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must want it

That's why I'm not running from it

Can't escape this blowing up

In my face so why can't I

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

Crazy, late nights in the city

Drink until you hate me

Then say that I should just let you go

But hold on, why do we still hold on?

Think that we should move on

But we're too scared of being alone

You say my name like you know my dark side, ooh

Can't beat the taste of the tears that I'll cry, ooh

Slow grenade it's blowing up my mistakes

So why don't I, why don't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must want it

That's why I'm not running from it

Can't escape this blowing up

In my face so why can't I

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

(Ooh)

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

Help me, my God this got messy

Least I got the best seat

'Cause we put on one hell of a show

Slow grenade it's blowing up my mistakes

So why don't I, why don't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must want it

That's why I'm not running from it

Can't escape this blowing up

In my face, so why can't I

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it

(Ooh)

Why can't I stop it?

Still got time for me to stop it

It's like a part of me must love it

That's why I'm not running from it
