[Verse 1]
I am just crushed in the velvet
My heart is locked in a box
I am still sinking in black skylines
But now I want it to stop

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m sailing high but I can't see
I’ve been pushed around, up and down in a cloud
And I can't breathe
I’m falling down, down to my knees
You've gotta let me go, you've gotta help me out
You've gotta set me free

[Chorus]
You've gotta set me free
Yeah, you devoured my soul
‘Cause I can taste your lips on my lips
Your kisses make me out of control
And I can feel my blood
It’s crawling through my veins
And you close your eyes and you twist your smile
‘Cause you can feel my pain

[Post-Chorus]
You can feel my pain
You can feel my pain

[Verse 2]
I have been dancing with shadows
I have been calling your name (calling your name)
I feel the skin dripping from my bones
Your touch, it makes me insane

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m sailing high but I can't see
I’ve been pushed around, up and down in a cloud
And I can't breathe
I’m falling down, down to my knees
You've gotta let me go, you've gotta help me out
You've gotta set me free

[Chorus]
You've gotta set me free
Yeah, you devoured my soul
‘Cause I can taste your lips on my lips
Your kisses make me out of control
And I can feel my blood
It’s crawling through my veins
And you close your eyes and you twist your smile
‘Cause you can feel my pain

[Bridge]
I can’t do this no more
You’re tearing me apart
So give me one last kiss
And then I have to let you know

[Chorus]
You've gotta set me free
Yeah, you devoured my soul
‘Cause I can taste your lips on my lips
Your kisses make me out of control
And I can feel my blood
It’s crawling through my veins
And you close your eyes and you twist your smile
‘Cause you can feel my pain

[Post-Chorus]
You can feel my pain
You can feel my pain
You can feel my pain
You can feel my pain

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.
