lyrics

What would you say if I was keeping oxygen from your brain? I was gonna be the heart beat coming, I was gonna be the heart attack. Heart! heart! heart! Burst out of your chest and take you away. I was gonna be the heart beat coming, I was gonna be the heart attack. Heart! Heart! Heart!

Baby, I never told you that I would be your friend.

Anxiety is gonna be the key that sets me free. I'll be speeding up your palpitations. I'll be clogging up your arteries. Arteries! No kind of glycerine can get to me before I begin. I'm tugging at your heart strings. Yeah, you might as well put away your medicine!

Baby, I never told you that I would be your friend.

What do you say? Now the oxygens left from your brain. I was gonna be the heartbeat coming. Now I'm just gonna be the one to stop! stop! stop! I'm watching as the ambulance takes you away. I was gonna be the heart beat coming. Now I'm just a little heart attack. Heart attack!

Baby, I never told you that I would be your friend.
