[Verse 1]
People said you're not a superstar
Can't jump that far
You know better
Got my armor on with superglue
Can power through
Yeah, whatever

[Pre-Chorus]
Crushin' my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feelin' their doubt, shut them all out
Crushin' my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feelin' their doubt, shut them all out
'Cause I need you

[Chorus]
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Keepin' me dreamin'
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)
Ah
Keepin' me dreamin'
(Don't you know I)
Ah
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)

[Verse 2]
Breaking bones to feel like I'm alive
How kids get high
Need to feel it
We want big things, but they make us small
No game at all
They don't feel it

[Pre-Chorus]
Crushin' my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feelin' their doubt, shut them all out (Mm)
Crushin' my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feelin' their doubt, shut them all out
'Cause I need you

[Chorus]
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Keepin' me dreamin'
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)
Ah
Keepin' me dreamin'
(Don't you know I)
Ah
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)

[Bridge]
Crushin' my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Crushin' my heart, tear me apart
Feelin' their doubt, shut them all out
Over, over again

[Chorus]
(Don't you know I)
Ah
Keepin' me dreamin'
(Don't you know I, uh)
Ah
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now (Oh)
Keepin' me dreamin'
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)

[Spoken Outro]
I don't know, I, I guess it's kinda like a voice in my heart
Reminding me that there's nothing to fear in the things I'm afraid of

Tove Lo

Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, professionally known as Tove Lo (pronounced Too-veh-Lu), is a Swedish singer-songwriter born and raised in Djursholm, Sweden.

She first rose to prominence for her single, “Habits (Stay High)“, which became a top ten hit in the U.S. a year after its 2013 release, a dark breakup anthem that generated such Internet buzz that it led to a deal with Universal. “Habits“ and its follow-up, “Out of Mind“, appeared on her debut EP Truth Serum, in 2014.

Later that year, her debut album, Queen of the Clouds, arrived, featuring “Habits“. The album was a Top 10 hit in Sweden and a Top 20 hit in the U.S. and U.K., and the subsequent single “Talking Body“ was a similar success.
