Fever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fever, where'd you run to?
Fever, where'd you run to?
Acting right is so routine
And fever let me live a dream
Fever I'm a slave to

No one misbehave too
Fever, they're misunderstood
Wouldn't leave you if I could
Fever


[Chorus]
Fever 'cause I'm breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me

Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again

[Verse 2]
Fever, can you hear me?
Fever, can you hear me?
You shook me like I never been
Now show me how to live again
It used to be a blessing
But fever's got me stressing

Realize I am to blame
But fever let me play the game
Fever

[Chorus]
Fever cause I'm breaking
Fever got me aching
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again
Fever got me guilty
Just go ahead and kill me
Fever, why won't you explain?
Break it down again

[Outro]
Now if the cold pale light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave her
Now if the cold pale light in your eyes
Reaches those horizon lines
You know not to leave her
Fever
