Stop the World

I've laid with fools,

Shook hands with the devil to break free from the rules.

I must confess.

I take more than my share so you could have less.

Live like a motto without any cause.

I've doubted myself.

If you'd only help me stop the world from spinning me around.

I want to stop the world and start all over.

Stop the world before I hit the ground.

I want to stop the world from taking over me.

I've been a thief and I've paid for the privilege with tears of grief.

I'm to blame and my loneliness burns like a ragged flame.

There's blood on my hands. I can't make it go away.

Nothing can keep me from trying.

Stop the world from spinning me around.

I want to stop the world and start all over.

Stop the world before I hit the ground.

I want to stop the world from taking over me.

With me or without me, this world keeps on turning. Keeps me down!

Live like a motto without any cause.

I've doubted myself.

If you'd only help me stop the world from spinning me around.

I want to stop the world and start all over.

Stop the the world before I hit the ground.

I want to stop the world from taking over me.

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
