Kickstart
JLS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would have done more than anything
Back then to make you smile
To the end of the earth and back
To protect all that we had

Now it's done (now it's done)
And I'm gone (I'm gone)
But you're back here in my face

So why you wanna go kickstart the drama
Now don't you know you can't
Break through my armor
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Kickstart the drama
Kickstart the drama

It's a little too late to want me now
it's dead and gone whoa
Cause the fact that you messed things up
it's your fault and that's real talk

Now I'm done (now I'm done)
With your song (your song)
Cause the melody's all wrong

So why you wanna go kickstart the drama
Now don't you know you can't
Break through my armor
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) oh
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama
Now don't you know you can't
Break through my armor
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)

Now I'll be the one that gets to
Not return your calls no
And you'll be the one who gets to feel invisible

So why you wanna go kickstart the drama
Now don't you know you can't
Break through my armor
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
So why you wanna go kickstart the drama
Now don't you know you can't break through my armour
Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)




Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
