Hm, hm, hm-hm-hm
Hm, hm, hm-hm-hm
Hm, hm, hm-hm
My heart is tumbling through a fairground
So lost, baby, I don't hear a sound
Demons are reading me up inside
Shadows say I'll never make it out
Oh, I just want to get off this ride
The monsters underneath my bed
Are living in my head
We said, life is a rollercoaster
Hold on
Life is a rollercoaster
But it makes you strong
I wish that I can save you tonight
But you got a ride the lows to go high
Life is a rollercoaster
Honey, just hold on
Dark trails, they try to pull me off track
Bright smiles, joker's stabbed me in back
But you were the light up ahead from lies
Ooh
Life is a rollercoaster
Hold on
Life is a rollercoaster
But it makes you strong
I wish that I can save you tonight
But you got a ride the lows to go high
Life is a rollercoaster
Honey, just hold on
The monsters underneath my bed
Are living in my head
Ha
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Life is a rollercoaster
Hold on (hold on)
Life is a rollercoaster
But it makes you strong
I wish that I can save you tonight
But you got a ride the lows to go high
Life is a rollercoaster
Honey, just hold on (hold on)
Hold on (na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-naa-na)
Honey, hold on(na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
