[Intro: Bastille]

[Chorus: Bastille]
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart
We were born to be together
Torn apart, torn apart

[Verse: Lizzo]
My yin and yang is killin’ me
Gotta get back, back to the synergy
Don’t forget where I been but you’re gonna remember
When I shake-a-shake my ass like a leaf of September
Ba de ya,, I don’t mean to kill your vibe
But if you got it, you get it
And I’ve been getting this shit for a long time

Happiness only brings heartache I’m so beyond naughty
And if you don’t like it, then why do you want me?
I see ya, don’t front if I tickle the strings on your heart
You play second fiddle to my instrumental
Your critical nature departs in the middle of all of my riddles
You’ve given up trying and now you just tear me apart, ah!

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
