Mr. Brightside Lyrics

[00:06.67] Coming out of my cage, and I've been doing just fine
[00:10.26] Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
[00:13.05] It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
[00:16.53] It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
[00:19.75] Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab
[00:22.94] While he's having a smoke, and she's taking a drag
[00:26.20] Now they're going to bed, and my stomach is sick
[00:29.66] And it's all in my head, but she's touching his chest now
[00:34.17] He takes off her dress now, let me go
[00:40.37]
[00:45.71] I just can't look, it's killing me
[00:51.38] And taking control
[00:54.94]
[00:58.35] Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
[01:03.11] Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
[01:09.63] But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
[01:16.01] Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[01:24.19]
[01:37.47] I'm coming out of my cage, and I've been doing just fine
[01:41.19] Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
[01:43.99] It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
[01:47.69] It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
[01:50.62] Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab
[01:54.23] While he's having a smoke, and she's taking a drag
[01:57.48] Now they're going to bed, and my stomach is sick
[02:00.65] And it's all in my head, but she's touching his chest now
[02:04.74] He takes off her dress now, let me go
[02:11.20]
[02:16.30] 'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me
[02:22.09] And taking control
[02:29.13] Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
[02:33.68] Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
[02:40.65] But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
[02:47.12] Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[02:55.57]
[03:07.61] I never
[03:14.02] I never
[03:18.33]
[03:20.49] I never
[03:26.97] I never
[03:32.37]
