[Post-Chorus]
I've done this before
Not like this

[Verse 1]
I don't drink to get drunk
I feel all the right funk
If there's something I want
I'll take all the right wrongs
Now, I'm gonna stay in my zone
I'm tired of picking that bone
And I can't be bothered
To fight it no more, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Numb on a roof, set it on fire
Just to give me proof, I'm living on a wire
Numb on a roof, set it on fire
Just to give me proof, I'm living on a wire

[Chorus]
So say what you wanna say, what you wanna
So say what you wanna say, what you gotta say, now
So say what you wanna say, what you want
Shame is you won't say that to my face

[Post-Chorus]
I've done this before
Not like this, not like this

[Verse 2]
Time for me to move up
So many hours have gone
Heart beats the pump of my blood
No strings for you to pull on
You've got your tongue in your cheek
So pardon if I don't speak
Can't tune my chords
Into your songs, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Numb on a roof, set it on fire
Just to give me proof, I'm living on a wire

[Chorus]
So say what you wanna say, what you wanna
So say what you wanna say, what you gotta say, now (So say what you wanna say)
So say what you wanna say, what you want
Shame is you won't say that to my face

[Post-Chorus]
I've done this before
Not like this, not like this

[Chorus]
Flashing lights, so say what you wanna say, what you wanna
So say what you wanna say, what you gotta say, now
So say what you wanna say, what you want
Shame is you won't say that to my face
So say what you wanna say, what you wanna
So say what you wanna say, what you gotta say, now
So say what you wanna say, what you want
Shame is you won't say that to my face

[Post-Chorus]
I've done this before
Not like this, not like this
I've done this before
Not like this, not like this

Zayn Malik

Zain Javadd “Zayn” Malik is an English/Pakistani singer and songwriter, and a former member of the boy band One Direction.

In 2010, Malik auditioned for the British television series The X Factor. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Malik was brought back into the competition, along with four other contestants, to form the group that would later be known as One Direction. During Zayn’s time in the band, they released four commercially successful albums, performed on a worldwide tour, and won several awards.

In March 2015, Malik’s representative announced the singer’s departure from the band, and Malik signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records. On November 17th, 2015, through an interview for The Fader, Malik teased the release of a new song, “Befour”, from his debut album Mind Of Mine. Lead single “PILLOWTALK” debuted at #1 on the Hot 100, becoming Zayn’s first number one single. By reaching #1 in the US, it achieved something that One Direction never did—their best ranking was #2 with “Best Song Ever.”
