Before It Explodes Lyrics
Bruno Mars
Lyrics
It's not a question of love
'Cause our love has never changed.
But all the little things keep piling up
And life keeps getting in the way.
Don't make this harder than it is
We both knew it'd come to this.
Better now than in a year
With lots of tears
And we both hate each other.
The fuse has already lit
So how about a final kiss?
And just let it go
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
Before it's out of our control.
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes!
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes...
Some things we won't understand
And we're both so tired of being misunderstood.
So let's just turn around and walk away
And hold on to what was good.
Don't make this harder than it is
We both knew it'd come to this.
Better now than in a year
With lots of tears
And we both hate each other.
The fuse has already left
So how about a final kiss?
And just let it go
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
Before it's out of our control.
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes...
Before it explodes
Before it's out of our control.
Let's stop the madness
Before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes...
