## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Baby, now and then

I think about me now and who I could have been

And then I picture all the perfect that we lived

'Til I cut the strings on your tiny violin

Oh, woah

**[Pre-Chorus]**

My mind's got a m-m-mind

Of its own right now and it makes me hate me

I'll explode like a dynamite if I can't decide, baby

**[Chorus]**

My head and my heart are torturing me, yeah

Lost my mind in your arms, I go to extremes, yeah

When angels tell me run

And monsters call it love, oh no

My head and my heart, I'm are caught in between, yeah

**[Post-Chorus]**

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

**[Verse 2]**

Tell me yes or no

Asking the heavens, "Should I stay or should I go?"

You held my hand when I had nothing left to hold

And now I'm on a roll, oh (Oh, woah)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

My mind's got a m-m-mind

Of its own right now and it makes me hate me

I'll explode like a dynamite if I can't decide, baby

**[Chorus]**

My head and my heart are torturing me, yeah

Lost my mind in your arms, I go to extremes, yeah

When angels tell me run

And monsters call it love, oh no

My head and my heart, I'm are caught in between, yeah

**[Post-Chorus]**

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

**[Bridge]**

I'm standin' at the crossroads

I cross my heart with X's and O's

Which way leads to forever?

Woah-oh, oh-woah oh, oh-woah oh, oh-woah oh

God only knows

**[Chorus]**

My head and my heart, are torturing me, yeah

Lost my mind in your arms, I go to extremes, yeah

When angels tell me run

And monsters call it love, oh no (Monsters call it love)

My head (my head) and my heart (my heart)

Are caught in between, yeah

**[Post-Chorus]**

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la (Oh)

La-la, la-la, la-la, la (La-la, la-la, la-la, la)

La-la, la-la-la

La-la, la-la, la-la, la

La-la, la-la-la (Oh yeah)

La-la, la-la, la-la, la
