Timebomb lyrics - Darren Hayes

Oh

Hoo...

T-t-tension inside
Take a look in my eyes
There is nowhere to hide
There's no reason to lie
The feelings I have are no good
Aching for you

Try to keep it contained
Try to go with the flow
I know I am insane
But I can't let it show
I'm keeping up my appearance

And you know chemicals won't do the trick
They haven't made a pill more powerful than
The way we used to be
I'm still clinging to that memory

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a timebomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still be unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity

Mmm mmm

So I bear it and grin
Try to cover it up
Try to bury the sin
But it's never enough
Cause the feelings I've got are no good

And they cannot be drowned in alcohol
But there is no state of oblivion
untainted by this spell
I am haunted by our memory

And how can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a timebomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still feel unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I am losing all my dignity

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a timebomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still feel unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I don't care, I've got no dignity

I'm gonna set it off
I'm gonna set it right next to you
It's ticking, baby
I'm gonna set it off
I'm gonna set it down next to you
This ticking timebomb

Mmm mm mm

Oh,

C'mon

Hoo...

And now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a timebomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody stand so close
And still feel unobtainable
Now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity

How can anybody fail to recognize desire
burning up in me
I'm ticking just like a timebomb
And smashing the pieces
How can anybody fail to recognize desire burning
And now all the world can see
I don't care, you've got my dignity, yeah

Mmm

I'm ticking just like a timebomb

Mmm

I'm ticking just like a timebomb

Mmm

I'm smashing the pieces...
