Self-Destruct Lyrics by Petrie

Superstore

2019

[Verse 1]
Gotta get better at the weekend
We're in love if you believe it
But your friends are so persistent
And now we're vodka jelly reminiscing
Could've gone ten pin bowling
Or made the most of the solstice
You said, "Baby, don't test me"
So now I keep looking at the exit

[Chorus]
Because I'm so scared
I'm about to see you cry
Why did I go there?
Should've stayed at home tonight
Because I always self-destruct when I think I'm in love
Yeah, I always self-destruct, heaven knows I'm out of luck

[Verse 2]
You think we couldn't spend the weekend alone
But baby, how the hell would we know?

[Pre-Chorus]
We go out and regret it by 11:15, yeah
Said it's worse than it's ever been
And I think you got offended
So now I keep looking at the exit

[Chorus]
Because I'm so scared
I'm about to see you cry
Why did I go there?
Should've stayed at home tonight
Because I always self-destruct when I think I'm in love
Yeah, I always self-destruct, heaven knows I'm out of luck
Laurie, rip it up

[Bridge]
I'd rather jump into the Thames
Than hit that Chelsea bar again
I think I'll swim a couple lengths
While you drink and make amends

[Pre-Chorus]
We go out and regret it by 11:15, yeah
Said it's worse than it's ever been
And I think you got offended
So now I keep looking at the exit
We go out and regret it by 11:15, yeah
Said it's worse than it's ever been
And I think you got offended
So now I keep looking at the exit

[Chorus]
Because I'm so scared
I'm about to see you cry
Why did I go there?
Should've stayed at home tonight
Because I always self-destruct when I think I'm in love
Yeah, I always self-destruct, heaven knows I'm out of luck
