[Verse 1: Esmée Denters]
Did anybody hear that? (Oh)
There's a string that just broke in my heart
I can feel it
And the sound of it tears me apart
Play it again (-gain, oh)
'Cause I
Don't recognize this song anymore (Oh)
Can you make it sound like it did before?
[Pre-Chorus: Esmée Denters]
It's the same old melody
And I can't stand what you do to me
Why you keep strummin' all the strings of my heart? My heart
It beats like a timpani
But you stole that away from me
I should've known it right from the start (Oh baby)
[Chorus: Esmée Denters]
All I know is I don't wanna hurt no more (Hurt no more)
All I know is our song needs a different chord (Different chord)
'Cause there's so many times that I feel like we've been here before (Here before)
I stay cryin' while you walk out the door
[Hook: Esmée Denters & (Justin Timberlake)]
I hear a sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
A sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
It's like a sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
I hear a sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
[Verse 2: Esmée Denters]
Somebody save me
'Cause I'm surrounded by all of these sounds
It's driving me crazy
'Cause you're playing me way too loud
All I hear is noise
(Now I) can't hear my own voice
(Now I) I didn't wanna tell you so
But you're bringin' me down (Bringin' me down)
[Pre-Chorus: Esmée Denters]
It's the same old melody
And I can't stand what you do to me
Why you keep strummin' all the strings of my heart? My heart
It beats like a timpani
But you stole that away from me
I should've known it right from the start (Ooh baby)
[Chorus: Esmée Denters]
All I know is I don't wanna hurt no more (Hurt no more)
All I know is our song needs a different chord (Different chord)
'Cause there's so many times that I feel like we've been here before (Here before)
I stay cryin' while you walk out the door
[Hook: Esmée Denters & (Justin Timberlake)]
I hear a sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
A sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
It's like a sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
I hear a sad, sad symphony (So let these strings cry)
[Bridge: Esmée Denters]
The song in my head won't leave
Everywhere I go, it plays
Takin' the beat from my heart
I wanna hear the encore, but I guess we're stuck (We're stuck)
'Cause I already know this part
And it seems we just can't get past the start (Oh)
[Chorus: Esmée Denters]
All I know is I don't wanna hurt no more (I don't wanna hurt no more)
All I know is our song needs a different chord (Different chord)
'Cause there's so many times that I feel like we've been here before (Here before)
I stay cryin' while you walk out the door (Walk out the door)
[Hook: Esmée Denters & Justin Timberlake]
I hear a sad, sad symphony (I hear) (So let these strings cry)
A sad, sad symphony (I hear) (So let these strings cry)
It's like a sad, sad symphony (I hear) (So let these strings cry)
I hear a sad, sad symphony (I hear) (So let these strings cry)
I hear a sad, sad symphony
Did anybody hear that? (Oh)
