[Verse 1]
Everybody's watching me, watching you
But this ain't gonna go the way I want it to
I've played this night a thousand times in my dreams
But standing here in front of you
I can't breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't need to admit this to know that it's true
There's fire in your eyes and I'm blinded by you
I'm searching for something better to say
I wanna be gold but you turn me to grey

[Chorus]
And all that fire it burns right through
And I can't fight it, I'm losing my cool
And all that glitter, like wasted jewels
It all falls down because I'm losing my cool
I'm losing my cool, losing my cool
Losing my cool, losing my cool

[Verse 2]
Standing on the dark side of the dance floor
Trying to find protection from your smile
My heart is like a drum beat in the jungle
It's running with the tigers, running wild

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm back in the corner, I'm covered with lies
I'm praying for water to put out the fires
And my imagination is burning away
I wanna be gold but you turn me to grey

[Chorus]
And all that fire it burns right through
And I can't fight it, I'm losing my cool
And all that glitter, like wasted jewels
It all falls down because I'm losing my cool
It's too late, yeah, the rest is truth
I know this time, I'm, I'm losing my cool
My heart's unfrozen, the ice runs through
And I can't stop myself, I'm losing my cool

[Bridge: Spoken]
My heart starts to beat faster
As I see you move towards me
I think, "This is it, what will you say?"
But you walk straight past me
Into the arms of somebody else
And I'm left alone, again

[Chorus]
And all that fire it burns right through
And I can't fight it, I'm losing my cool
And all that glitter, like wasted jewels
It all falls down because I'm losing my cool
It's too late, yeah, the rest is truth
I know this time, I'm, I'm losing my cool
My heart's unfrozen, the ice runs through
And I can't stop myself, I'm losing my cool
Losing my cool, I'm losing my cool
Losing my cool

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.
