Lyrics of Sabotage by Laufey
[Verse 1]
I Get In My Head So Easily
I Don’t Understand, I’m My Worst Enemy
You Assure Me You Love Me And Seal It With A Kiss
I Can’t Be Convinced
[Chorus]
It’s Just A Matter Of Time ’til You See The Dagger
It’s A Special Of Mine To Cause Disaster
So Prepare For The Impact, And Brace Your Heart
For Cold, Bloody, Bitter Sabotage
[Verse 2]
I Swear That One Day, I’ll Marry You
I’ll Get In The Way, Just Like I Always Do
You Assure Me You Love Me
Your Message Won’t Go Through
Why Won’t It Go Through?
[Chorus]
It’s Just A Matter Of Time ’til You See The Dagger
It’s A Special Of Mine To Cause Disaster
So Prepare For The Impact, And Brace Your Heart
For Cold, Bloody, Bitter Sabotage
[Instrumental Outro]
