  • If you want it, take it
    I should've said it before
    Tried to hide it, fake it
    I can't pretend anymore

    I only wanna die alive
    Never by the hands of a broken heart
    I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
    Now that I've become who I really am

    This is the part when I say I don't want ya
    I'm stronger than I've been before
    This is the part when I break free
    'Cause I can't resist it no more
    This is the part when I say I don't want ya
    I'm stronger than I've been before
    This is the part when I break free
    'Cause I can't resist it no more

    You were better, deeper
    I was under your spell, yeah
    Like a deadly fever, yeah, babe
    On the highway to hell, yeah

    I only wanna die alive
    Never by the hands of a broken heart
    I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
    Now that I've become who I really am

    This is the part when I say I don't want ya
    I'm stronger than I've been before
    This is the part when I break free
    'Cause I can't resist it no more
    This is the part when I say I don't want ya
    I'm stronger than I've been before
    This is the part when I break free
    'Cause I can't resist it no more

    No more, baby, ooh
    Thought of your body, I came alive
    It was lethal, it was fatal
    In my dreams, it felt so right
    But I woke up every time
    Oh, baby

    This is the part when I say I don't want ya
    I'm stronger than I've been before
    This is the part when I break free
    'Cause I can't resist it no more
    This is (this is) the part when I say I don't want ya
    I'm stronger than I've been before
    This is the part when I break free
    'Cause I can't resist it no more Writer/s: Anton Zaslavski, Max Martin, Savan Kotecha

  • Emily from UsaOh, I thought the lyric was grammatically correct, like "Now that I've become who I really am."
