[Verse 1]
Days are getting cold
Darkness lies on expired dreams
While the spotlight shines down on me
But you're cornered, and can't back away

[Pre-Chorus]
Being so many things to so many
Reaching for it all when you can't have any

[Chorus]
Under pressure
Under pressure
This is far too much to take
I'm afraid I might break under pressure
Under pressure

[Verse 2]
You ask me who I think I am
I’ll plead the fifth, I won’t take the stand
Judgment falls but is it heard?
Jury’s hung, justice won’t be served

[Pre-Chorus]
Being so many things can be heavy
Reeling from it all, can get you buried
[Chorus]
Under pressure
Under pressure
This is far too much to take
I'm afraid I might break under pressure
Under pressure

[Verse 3]
These are the paintings great painters paint
The crimes of the innocent, the sins of the saints

[Chorus]
Under pressure
Under pressure
This is far too much to take
I'm afraid I might break under pressure
Under pressure
Mm-uhh
