Chandelier
Sia & Beck Lyrics

Party girls don't get hurt
Girls who constantly party and engage in reckless behavior do not experience emotional pain or vulnerability.

Can't feel anything, when will I learn
I am numb and incapable of experiencing emotions, and I wonder when I will develop the wisdom to change my ways.

I push it down, I push it down
I suppress my emotions and bury them deep within me.

I'm the one 'for a good time call'
I am the person others turn to when they want to have a fun and carefree experience.

Phone's blowin' up, ring up my doorbell
My phone constantly goes off with calls and my doorbell keeps ringing as people seek my company.

I feel the love, feel the love
I sense the affection and attention that others bestow upon me.

One, two, three, one, two, three drink
I repeatedly engage in excessive drinking, counting it out as I consume.

Throw 'em back, 'til I lose count
I continue to drink heavily until I am unable to keep track of the number of drinks I have consumed.

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I intend to escape reality and experience a carefree joy by swinging from a chandelier.

I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
I plan to live in the present moment without worrying about the consequences or responsibilities of the future.

Like it doesn't exist
I will act as if the future holds no significance and focus solely on the present.

I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I will soar through the night sky, experiencing both freedom and emotional release as my tears evaporate.

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
Despite my reckless behavior, I desperately cling to life, refusing to acknowledge the reality of my situation.

Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
I continuously refill my glass with alcohol until the morning arrives because I am merely surviving through this night.

Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes
I plead for assistance as I desperately cling to life, unwilling to face the truth or confront my problems.

Sun is up, I'm a mess
When morning comes, I am left in disarray, both physically and emotionally.

Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
I feel the urgency to escape and distance myself from this destructive lifestyle.

Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
Feelings of guilt and disgrace are about to overwhelm me once again.

Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
I am enduring this current state solely for this one night, hoping for a brighter future to come.

On for tonight, on for tonight
For this one night, I am determined to persist and persevere.

Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Because I am solely clinging to life, hoping to survive through this single night.
