Original single released August 8, 2017

Re-released as B-side to "Want Me" single

lyrics

My life is like waiting in line
To get to the front takes an awful lot of time
At first I thought that you were mine
But I changed my mind when we were already on the ride

My life is like a roller coaster
Soaring high then dropping closer to the ground
Am I safe and sound?
Ascending slow but successfully
Then we fall right down a thousand feet ‘cause I forget
That you need to get off my roller coaster

We talked for a while and that was fun
It turns out our ride was super-far from done
I found out you lie to almost everyone
You were so cold – it’s a good thing that hell is hot

My life is like a roller coaster
Soaring high then dropping closer to the ground
Am I safe and sound?
Ascending slow but successfully
Then we fall right down a thousand feet ‘cause I forget
That you need to get off my roller coaster

You think you’re so much more than me
Outside you’re fine but inside you scream
Your heart is blind, your spirit’s weak

My life is like a roller coaster, soaring high then dropping closer

My life is like a roller coaster
Soaring high then dropping closer to the ground
Am I safe and sound?
Ascending slow but successfully
Then we fall right down a thousand feet ‘cause I forget
That you need to get
Off my roller coaster
