[Verse 1]
Why can't you just let me sleep?
I don't know, I don't know
Locked inside this broken dream
I can't go, I can't go

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Body turns into paper
Ink stains on my hand
Writing turns to bruises
I can't stand

[Chorus 1]
Living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
We're dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

[Verse 2]
Ice blue lips upon my skin
So cold, so cold

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing with each other
Our lights begin to flame
Sick down to my stomach
We can't change

[Chorus 2]
We're living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

[Bridge]
Ooh, never gonna take me there
Ooh, never gonna make it there

[Chorus 2]
We're living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
We're living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high

[Outro]
Living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
(Ooh, never gonna take me there)
Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
(Ooh, never gonna make it there)
Living in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
(Ooh, never gonna take me there)
Dying in a heartbreak high, heartbreak high
(Ooh, never gonna make it there)

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.
