🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Take a bullet straight through my brain
  • Yes, I would die for you, baby
  • But you won't do the same
  • No, no, no, no

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Take a bullet straight through my brain
  • Yes, I would die for you, baby
  • But you won't do the same (no)
  • If my body was on fire (no)
