[Verse 1]
My hands are frozen into chains behind my back
So please, don’t swallow down the key
Let me out now
Yeah, I’m in trouble
Can’t stop what’s coming
Can’t blame this one on bad luck

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I? How can I?

[Chorus]
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I? How can I?
How can I fix what I fucked up?

[Verse 2]
Iced out, got hot, bit the dust hardcore
But I’m at the same place I was before
Yeah, I’m in trouble
Can’t stop what’s coming
Can’t blame this one on bad love

[Pre-Chorus]
How can I? How can I?

[Chorus]
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I? How can I?
How can I fix what I fucked up?

[Bridge]
It was boys and girls, and girls, and boys
The Southern Comfort from your comforter got destroyed
It was shady eyes with the violent noise
We on the graveyard digging where the love is void
We had a meltdown underground
Just a cemetery chick, but it's over now
But I still taste your bones when I’m all alone
You’re the best I ever had, but now you’ve got to go
And now I’m on my own
I said, “Please don’t go.”
Please don’t go

[Final Chorus]
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I? How can I?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
I miss your touch and my skin on yours
I want a taste of what I adore
How can I? How can I?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I fix what I fucked up?
How can I? How can I?
How can I fix what I fucked up?

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
