[Verse 1]
If these four walls could talk
Then they would tell you to stop
Because you're crushing my bones
And I am breaking your heart
If these four walls could talk
Then they would tell you to stop
Because you're crushing my bones
I'm breaking your heart
Romance is rotting my skin
And we are falling apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what would you say
If I went away
And stole your starlight
Would that be alright?
Now how would it be
If a symphony
Played our favorite song
And got the notes wrong?

[Chorus]
Is this the part where the violins kick in?
Is this the part where the drama begins?
Woohoohoohoow

[Verse 2]
If these voices were real
Then they would tell you to leave
And if these mirrors could speak
They'd tell you to scream
But your body's a mess
Your eyes roll back in a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Now what would you say
If I went away
And stole your starlight
Would that be alright?
Now how would it be
If a symphony
Played our favorite song
And got the notes wrong?

[Chorus]
Is this the part where the violins kick in?
Is this the part where the drama begins?
This is the part where your toys burn up
And all of my colours fall to the sun

[Bridge]
Is this the part-
Is this the part-
Is this the part-
Is this-, is this-, is this-
Is this the part-
Is this the part-
Is this the part-
Is this-, is this-, is this-
Is this the part-
Is this the part-
Is this the part-
Is this-, is this-, is this-

[Chorus]
Is this the part where the violins kick in?
Is this the part where the drama begins?
This is the part where your toys burn up
And all of my colours fall to the sun

[Chorus]
Is this the part where the violins kick in?
Is this the part where the drama begins?
This is the part where your toys burn up
And all of my colours fall to the sun

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.
