Before It Explodes
Charice(채리스) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
More nights of tears and we both hate each other
The fuse is already lit, so how about a final kiss
And just let it go
And 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

Somethings we won't understand
And we're both so tired of being misunderstood
So let's just turn and walk away
And hold on to what was good

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

It's not a question of love
Our relationship is not lacking in love


'Cause our love has never changed
Our love for each other has remained constant


But all the little things keep piling up
However, the accumulation of small issues is causing bigger problems


And life keeps getting in the way
External factors are complicating matters further


Don't make this harder than it is

We both knew it'd come to this
We were aware this would happen eventually

Before everything falls apart

"Before It Explodes"

[Verse 1:]
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 we'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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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 we'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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
There ain't nothing that can save us
We're too close to the end
And what's the use of going on
If we lie to each other, every word that is said
It's too late for us now
Cause we can hear the countdown
It's getting close
It's gonna blow
Stop the madness!

[Chorus:]
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
