[Verse 1]
There's too many omens
That I didn't [?]
They helped me through the wire
And they pull at the teeth

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And they tell me that they own me
That they hold me, but they never control me

[Chorus]
Life
No one can take the life
My reverie
The tide has done the worst they can to me
For now I'll dry my eyes
While my heart, all filled with bloody oceans
I'll strive
The moment no one noticed me

[Verse 2]
I'm known to be ferocious
Towards my enemy
Though gentle in the heart
I'll beat what I've seen

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the thunder, it keeps rolling
But I'll stay all the way 'til the closing

[Chorus]
Life
No one can take the life
My reverie
The tide has done the worst they can to me
For now I'll dry my eyes
While my heart, all filled with bloody oceans
I'll strive
The moment no one noticed me
Life
No one can take the life
My reverie
The tide has done the worst they can to me
For now I'll dry my eyes
While my heart, all filled with bloody oceans
But I'll strive
The moment no one noticed me

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.
