Bastille - Power Lyrics

Aim, throw your best shot right at me
Cause pain, I can take it easily
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?

Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your bare hands
They hold too tight
And woah the air is on fire
This room feels electric
Cord here in your sights

Power, power
I will never understand
The power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long
Yes you've had it too long

Pain, just synapses firing in our brain
So when you cut me, cut me deep
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
Cause in time we show our Achilles's heels

And woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your cold bare hands
They hold too tight
And woah the air is on fire
This room feels electric
Cord here in your sights

Power, power
I will never understand
The power you're holding over me
Power, power
Oh you've had it too long
Yes you've had it too long

If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder
(Hit me, hit me harder)
Cause you better knock me out the first time
And if you're do this with the plaster
(Do this with the plaster)
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this

Power, power
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me

Power, power
I will never understand
The way I let you hold it over me

Power, power
Well you've had it too long
Yes you've had it too long

Power, oh, oh, power
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Power, power
I let you have it too long
Yes you've had it too long
