[Verse 1]
Don't you forget
My boy
This life's a beach and you're inflatable
My toy
Be careful who you're kicking while they're down
Or endure
The chaos that ensues when they find out
In time
But it's a rollercoaster ride and you better put your hands up
I see it

[Chorus]
Whoah, whoah, whoah
Life's too short and I don't need this
Counting to five let my thoughts retreat in
Life's too short and I don't need this
Knot in my stomach now they're back into where they belong
And I don't need this
Before my blood burns red and I can't switch off again
And I don't need this

[Verse 2]
Don't you forget
He's got the words to make you break out in a sweat
He thinks you're weak
He thinks you're lazy
He thinks you're wet
So will you live out your life watching from the bench
Or stick your elbows out and let him know you're intent?

[Bridge]
Of course you knew it from the start
Of course you knew it all along
You're just a self-indulgent prick
Who wants to tear apart our fun
I see it

[Chorus]
Whoah, whoah, whoah
Life's too short and I don't need this
Counting to five let my thoughts retreat in
Life's too short and I don't need this
Knot in my stomach now they're back into where they belong
And I don't need this
Before my blood burns red and I can't switch off again
And I don't need this

[Middle]
Been down but I'm trying to forget now
New here wasn't born in to get down
I'm told what I'm meant to believe in
And life's too short and I don't need this
Been down but I'm trying to forget now
New here wasn't born in to get down
I'm told what I'm meant to believe in
And life's too short and I don't need this

[Chorus]
Life's too short and I don't need this
Counting to five let my thoughts retreat in
Life's too short and I don't need this
Knot in my stomach now they're back into where they belong
And I don't need this
Before my blood burns red and I can't switch off again
And I don't need this

Life's too short and I don't need this
Counting to five let my thoughts retreat in
Life's too short and I don't need this
Knot in my stomach now they're back into where they belong
And I don't need this
Before my blood burns red and I can't switch off again
