[Verse 1]
We were on the road, driving in the night
Lovers in the spotlight burning
Couldn’t put you down, told me it was everything, yeah
We were running wild, cutting like a knife
Push each other to the edge
Never gonna know if we make it back again, yeah yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I tried to hold you like a rose
But you kept killing me, yeah
You kept killing me, yeah
I was the one you chose
But you won't keep me
So I hope you believe me, yeah
I'm telling you

[Chorus]
I, I feel alive
Oh I, I never felt better
I promise I'm alright, I'll survive
I'm fine, I never felt better

[Verse 2]
Now I'm on my own, figuring it out
Acting like I'm in the movies
Crying in the shower, drinking in the afternoon, yeah
Taste is kinda sweet, mixed with my tears
Mixed with my memories
Never needed you, never need anyone, yeah yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I tried to hold you like a rose
But you kept killing me, yeah
You kept killing me, yeah
I'm telling you

[Chorus]
I, I feel alive
Oh I, I never felt better
I promise I'm alright, I'll survive
I'm fine, I never felt better

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes I think about you and me dancing till 4a.m
Till the bitter end, till the bitter end, yeah
Sometimes I hate you and sometimes I wish that we could be friends
So I just pretend, yeah, I just pretend
I never felt better

[Bridge]
Promise I can't feel the pain, promise I don't feel the same
No, I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Promises don’t mean a thing when you see right through my skin
But I keep pushing on and on
Yeah, I keep pushing till you're gone
I'm telling you

[Chorus]
I, I feel alive
Oh I, I never felt better
I promise I'm alright, I'll survive
I'm fine, I never felt better

[Post-Chorus]
Sometimes I think about you and me dancing till 4a.m
Till the bitter end, till the bitter end, yeah
Sometimes I hate you and sometimes I wish that we could be friends
So I just pretend, yeah, I just pretend
I never felt better

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.
