Energy Lyrics

Ooh-ooh
Uh-oh (uh-oh)
Oh (oh), yeah

I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
'Cause I put too much energy in him and me
Can't wait 'til I get through this phase
'Cause it's killing me
Too bad we can't re-write our own history

Such a mystery when he's here with me
It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
Chances fading now, patience running out
This ain't how it's supposed to be

I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (no)
How do we reverse the chemistry? (Chemistry)
I don't want us to be the end of me (mmm, yeah)
This love is taking all of my energy (energy)
Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
Taking all of my energy (energy)
Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
Taking all of (my energy)

Seems only like yesterday, not even gravity
Could keep your feet off the ground when you were with me
How could two be as one?
We've become so divided now
There's no use hiding from the misery, no

Such a mystery when he's here with me
It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
Chances fading now, patience running out
This ain't how it's supposed to be

I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (oh oh oh, whoa)
How do we reverse the chemistry? (How do we?)
I don't want us to be the end of me (me, yeah)
This love is taking all of my energy (all of my energy)
Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
Taking all of my energy (taking all)
Energy (energy), energy (my energy), (energy)
Taking all of (whoa)

Now I can feel a change in me (change in me)
And I can't afford to slip much further
From the person I was meant to be, whoa, oh
I'm not afraid to walk alone
Not giving up, but moving on
Before it gets too deep
'Cause you're taking all of my energy

I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (ooh)
How do we reverse the chemistry? (Ooh)
I don't want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy (all my energy)
I'm having nightmares from sleeping with the enemy (oh, oh)
How do we reverse the chemistry? (Oh)
I don't want us to be the end of me
This love is taking all of my energy (energy)
Energy (energy), my energy (energy) (ooh)
Taking all of my energy (ooh)
Energy (energy)
Taking all of me (energy, my energy)
Taking all of-

You're killing me
You're taking all of me, yeah (me, yeah)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
This love is taking all of my energy
