  • I wish I could rip out a page of my memory
    Cause I put to much energy in him and me
    Can't wait til I get through this phase
    Cause it's killing me
    To bad we can't re-write our own history

    Such a mystery when he's here with me
    It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
    Chances fading now, patience running out
    This ain't how it's supposed to be

    I'm having nightmares
    From sleeping with the enemy
    How do we reverse the chemistry
    I don't want us to be the end of me
    This love is taking all of my energy
    Energy, my energy
    Taking all my energy
    Energy, my energy
    Taking all of (my energy)

    Seems only like yesterday
    Not even gravity
    Could keep our feet
    On the ground
    When u go to me
    How can two be as one
    We've become to divided now
    There's no use hiding from memory now
    Such a mystery when he's here with me
    It's hard to believe I'm still lonely
    Chances fading now, patience running out
    This ain't how it's supposed to be

    I'm having nightmares
    From sleeping with the enemy (Oh, yeah)
    How do we reverse the chemistry
    (We gotta re-)
    I don't want us to be the end of me
    This love is taking all of my energy
    Energy, my energy
    Taking all my energy (energy)
    Energy (energy), my energy (energy)
    Taking all of

    Cause your taking all of my energy
    I'm having nightmares
    From sleeping with the enemy
    We gotta reverse the chemistry
    I don't want us to be the end of me
    This love is taking all of my energy

    I'm having nightmares
    From sleeping with the enemy (oh)
    We gotta reverse the chemistry (oh, oh)
    I don't want us to be the end of me
    This love
    Is taking all of my energy (energy)
    Energy (energy), my energy (oh)
    Taking all my energy (oh-oh)
    Energy, my energy (taking all of me)
    Taking all of

    Ya killing me
    Ya taking all of me yeah, oh
    This love is taking all of my energy Writer/s: GARY KENNETH WHELAN, MARK PHILIP DAY, PAUL ANTHONY RYDER, PAUL RICHARD DAVIS, SHAUN RYDER

  • Chenel from Eatontown, Njwas the perfect anthem after the break up of a LONG 7yr relationship i had with my highschool "sweetheart". Everything about this song, including the video was so moving for me first time I saw it. Every word and every note in this song was so powerful to me because I could relate to every bit of it. It was a devastating break up and very sad story but.. but in the end worth it to trust God and just LET GO.
